Could someone help me with the Lift Equation?

[margaretsama]

Um.. I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but I'm having a slight problem with my project. I've been trying to experiment with the Wright Brother's Lift Equation, but I'm having problems with the coefficient of which I've heard is the lift produced over drag... And I don't really have that. I'm really looking for the lift, and um.. yeah, it's a slight problem. If you could help, it would be a big help!
Thankyou!

Hello Margaretsama,

I;m not familiar with aerodynamics, but I did a google of aerodynamic equations and found a website that talks about all of the different parts of the equation for finding the lift. Hope this helps and please let us know if you need more help.

You should be looking at Bernoulli and Newton,
