to 0.47 for turbulent flow. Although the drag coefficient decreases with increasing , the drag force increases.

Aircraft

As noted above, aircraft use their wing area as the reference area when computing , while automobiles (and many other objects) use projected frontal area; thus, coefficients are not directly comparable between these classes of vehicles. In the aerospace industry, the drag coefficient is sometimes expressed in drag counts where 1 drag count
