Windage is a force created on an object by friction when there is relative movement between air and the object. Windage loss is the reduction in efficiency due to windage forces. * There are two causes of windage:* The object is moving and being slowed by resistance from the air. * A wind is blowing producing a force on the object.The term can refer to: * * The effect of the force, for example the deflection of a missile or an aircraft by a cross wind. * The area and shape of the object that make it susceptible to friction, for example those parts of a boat that are exposed to the wind. * The difference between the bore and the diameter of the cannonball in a muzzle-loading cannon or firearm.Aerodynamic streamlining can be used to reduce windage. * There is a hydrodynamic effect similar to windage. |
