To make good prediction of the position of the lower attachment point (connection harness/glider) it's necessary to know about all acting forces. All forces are split into drag (parallel to v_inf) and lift (perpendicular to v_inf)

- Lift of the wing:

Predicted via the panel-method (para-bem) by summing pressure over all surfaces and computing the v_inf perpendicular part. Dependent on wake definitions.

- Induced drag:
7

Predicted via the panel-method (para-bem) by summing pressure over all surfaces and computing the v_inf parallel part.

- Line drag are predicted with a specific cd-value for each line and is accessible via `lineset.get_drag`.
9

- Pilot drag:
10
+
Best to predict with experiement / calibration. s * rho * v**2 / 2 (s ~ 0.8, rho = 1.2, v ~ 11)

- Profile-drag:
12
+
Lift and drag predicted by computing the potential-flow does not take viscous drag into account. A prediction can be made by using the known drag and a given glide-angle.
