[QUOTE="trubkir17, post: 2582038, member: 112555"] I read that term as well and I have been down an aerodynamic related rabbit hole for over 90 minutes. I have never read the exact term "parabolic drag". I have read about a "drag polar". This is a parabolic curve plotted out that determines drag for a given set of variables, if I understand correctly. I think that the poster who introduced this term has amalgamated a couple of different flight variables and then gave it a term that he understands but can't explain fully. [/QUOTE]
