Possibilities of minimalization of induced drag

Lift-induced drag is a significant part of total drag of airplane during flight, thus its minimization is desirable for economical operation of air service. This bachelor thesis deals with possibilities of induced drag minimization. First part of this thesis presents basics of induced drag origin during flight. The second part of the thesis contains overview of potential methods of induced drag minimization, their description and structural design, including comparison of particular methods of drag minimization
