AerodynamicDragObject is in setup and function similar to typical BoxCollider, only it collides with air which produces drag. These should be used on fuselages, landing gear and other drag-inducing objects on an aircraft. AerodynamicDragObject should not be used on Airfoils as the airfoils already calculate and apply drag.

Dimensions

These are the dimensions of the box representing the AerodynamicDragObject. Direction field is important since it determines which drag coefficient affects which side of the box.

Drag Coefficients

Drag coefficients determine the coefficient of aerodynamic drag applied to that side of the box. If the aircraft is flying level only the frontal area of the box and the front Cd (coefficient of drag) will be used.

Drag coefficients for different geometrical shapes.
