This helped me visualize wingtip vortices in a better way than the book.

There are so many great content creators that make learning easy, this is one of them

I would like to add to the Induced Drag reasoning: It is understood that this is mostly based off of wingtip vortices, with the air under coming around and hitting the top, thus creating the drag. At low speeds, this bleed air is coming around and banging directly into the top of the wing (high drag). As you go faster, by the time the air completes its circle up to the top, the wing has already moved beyond that point and the air doesn't completely hit the top of the wing (less drag). Therefore, higher speed equals less Induced drag, no angle of attack change needed.

Amazing video! Thanks!

Total induce drag not only come from your wingtip vortices but also Aft lift (increase while you increases induce aoa) and vortices behind the trailing edge, all those 3 parts make your total induce drag.

Amazing and clear explanation!

Nice explanation

Short + Precise ❤

thanks for the tips, very helpful

so will it be wrong to say that form drag is the parent of induced drag? ultimately induced drag is caused because of wings.

So the L/D max is essentially Vy?

good video but ur face cam in the way
