A more useful measure of the parasite drag is the equivalent flat-plate drag
area, f . This quantity is exactly what it suggests–a flat plate of area, f , will
have the same drag as the airplane (when the plate is positioned
perpendicular to the wind). Thus, the total parasite drag is just
DP = f q
You can find f by doing a component drag buildup. Each exterior component
of the airplane is considered separately, and the f of each is found. Then the
total f is determined by summing the component drag areas. In general, the
equivalent flat-plate area of the ith component can be computed from

Roskam suggests that the value for the wing-fuselage interference factor should be
taken from the graph below
Interference Factor
The drag of some items does not quite fit the form
with bflap representing the span of the flap and δflap the flap angle in degrees.
Recall that takeoff flap setting is approximately 25◦ whereas a δflap of 50◦ is
used on landing. Fuselage-mounted speed brakes have f /Afrontal = 1, while
wing-mounted speed brakes, or spoilers, have f /Afrontal = 1.6.

ERJ 145 CD0 Calculation for the Wing and Fuselage
General Data
We consider in this example that the laminar portion of the wing covers
10% of its whole exposed area (usually this figure is around 5%). That
means we must take klam = 0,10.

Considering that the fuselage presents a rough surface, the cut-off Reynolds number must also
be calculated to taken this characteristic into account

Re is lower that the cut-off Reynolds number. Thus, the usual Reynolds number
