RE: Induced Drag
fair enough
I tend to look at the whole airframe and try to imagine what parts are working for me and what is working against me
If it detracts rather than adds - -I call it drag
If it helps rather than detracts -I call it lift .
So far -I have not found ANY parts which don't fall into one of these camps.
To me , many parts of the airframe change rolls from one to the other .
I cut and try to get best compromise.
