A collection of aircraft drag analysis methods and drag reduction techniques has been prepared. Pressure, skin friction (viscous), wave (compressibility), lift induced (vortex), interference, throttle dependent, and trim drag source predictions are included. The need to establish a computational drag prediction experience base is emphasized and illustrated. Project type applications are described in which these drag prediction tools have been implemented for drag reduction processes. The paper concludes by summarizing the role played by computerized drag prediction methods in aircraft design programs.
