Abstract
A rapid method for estimating the zero-lift drag coefficient of transport aircraft is presented. The method is based on the principle of equivalent skin friction. The method considers an empirical relation between the equivalent skin-friction coefficient and Reynolds number based on a reference length calculated from the aircraft's geometry. The method can be used throughout the conceptual design phase as a prediction and verification tool
