dragThe force that resists the motion of the aircraft through the air. One type of drag is caused by air molecules. As the aircraft flies through the molecules, they resist the motion of the aircraft. This resistance is due to friction between the air molecules and the surface of the aircraft. Airplanes are streamlined to decrease the drag force.

dragAerodynamic forces that make you have to work harder and slow you down. In cycling, drag is the result of a number of things, including the wind speed and direction, plus the bicycle, equipment and clothing that all catch the air to some degree. This is why so many companies use wind tunnels in their bicycle design and testing process.
