Basic mistake within definition of parasite drag and its coefficient.

Hi, Nimbus227; I abide by your notice, and I apologize. I am new dealing with Wikipedia. My intent was to point to a basic problem in a basic definition of the parasite drag coefficient CDo of an aircraft that yields misleading results. This issue derives from using the wing area as a reference area (bad) instead of frontal area (ggod). I thought I could rely on Wikipedia to highlight this point, and you have proved me wrong. I will have to find other more conventional means to do so (peer-reviewed academic papers). My background is in aerodynamics, and you may google "burgers" and "normalized lift" for more information on this topic. Again, my apologies and thanks, Nimbus227.

Hi, there's no need to contact me here, most editors place articles (which includes talk pages) on their watchlist, that's why I was alerted that there was a new comment. Full talk page guidelines are here, this template has links to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. You still seem unhappy with the article, your post appeared to only criticise text books on the subject and not the article. If you believe there is an omission in the article you can highlight that directly on the talk page with the proposal of how to remedy it or you can edit the article yourself, citing your source(s). If the community agrees with the change then it will be kept, if not it might be reverted. Some blue links there that hopefully help to explain how it all works.
