Reduction of Helicopter Parasite DragA reduction in helicopter parasite drag is possible but not profitable except in those cases where high speed and long range are primary requirements . For some of the factors causing drag, reduction in parasite-drag area may result in increased weight whereas, in other cases, it does not. The final design, however, must be a compromise between the reduction of drag and the increase in weight .
