Answer» CORRECT option is (a) Induced drag Easy explanation: Drag which is PRODUCED due to lift is called lift induced or simply induced drag. Induced drag is generated due to downwash phenomena. This downwash induces an additional FORCE component which is acting in the opposite direction of the aircraft forward MOTION. This induced force is called induced drag or lift induces drag. |
