Excrescence drag due to surface-roughness drag is accounted for by using 2 to 3% of component parasite drag as roughness drag ([1] and [7]). As indicated in discussion after Equation 9.13, it is factored using 3% after computing all component parasite drag, as follows:

fcomp total = 1.03( f f + fw + fn + fp + fother comp)

(9.27)

The difficulty in understanding the physics of excrescence drag was summarized by Haines ([10]) in his review by stating “ . . . one realises that the analysis of some of these early data seems somewhat confused, because three major factors controlling the level of drag were not immediately recognised as being separate effects.” These factors are as follows:

how skin friction is affected by the position of the boundary-layer transition

how surface roughness affects skin friction in a fully turbulent flow

how geometric shape (nonplanar) affects skin friction

Haines’s study showed that a small but significant amount of excrescence drag results from manufacturing origin and was difficult to understand.

9.8.5 Miscellaneous Parasite Drags

In addition to excrescence drag, there are other drag increments such as ECS drag (e.g., air-conditioning), which is drag at a fixed value depending on the number of passengers); and aerials and trim drag, which are included to obtain the minimum parasite drag of the aircraft.

Air-Conditioning Drag

Air-conditioning air is inhaled from the atmosphere through flush intakes that incur drag. It is mixed with hot air bled from a midstage of the engine compressor and then purified. Loss of thrust due to engine bleed is accounted for in the enginethrust computation, but the higher pressure of the expunged cabin air causes a small amount of thrust. Table 9.4 shows the air-conditioning drag based on the number of passengers (interpolation is used for the between sizes).

Trim Drag

Due to weight changes during cruise, the CG could shift, thereby requiring the aircraft to be trimmed in order to relieve the control forces. Change in the trim-surface angle causes a drag increment. The average trim drag during cruise is approximated
