Abstract
A simple additive correction to the classical representation of the drag coefficient which is insignificant when the square of the lift coefficient is small has been derived. The resulting simplified representation can be described as a quadratic curve of regression of the drag coefficient on the square of the lift coefficient. Using data on the drag polars of YF-16, it is shown that the proposed approximation can be used in turn calculations for a fighter aircraft.
