Hello All, I have a question for which I'd like an authoritative answer, if some physics genius would be so kind. I'll try to provide as much background as I can but follow up questions for clarity are more than welcome! So I'm working on the design for a patent application and it involves a...

In the attached picture, can I say that there is a lift force in the Y-direction, and a drag force too in the same Y-direction? FL proportional to V_fx2 ? FD proportional to V_py2 ? Is this equation of motion for the Y-direction correct here: ma = − mg − FD + V(rho)g + FL The lift force is...
