Input(s)

$\rho$: Density $\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$

v: True Air Speed $(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})$.

L: Lift Force (Newton)

S: Planform Area $\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)$

Output(s)

$C_{L}$: Lift Coefficient (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{L}}=2 * \frac{\mathrm{L}}{\rho * \mathrm{v}^{2} * \mathrm{~S}} $$
