Flegmatoid is on a distinguished road
Having tried to plot
Cl_x, Cl_y
as well as
Cd_x, Cd_y

I can see that
Cl_x = Cd_x
just like
Cl_y = Cd_y

I can also see that default setting for Cd is X, while default for Cl is Y.

Would I be correct in assuming, that Cd and Cl are actually Force coefficients for X and Y respectively, which is in direct proportion of X and Y area projections (if speaking about the pitched airfoil)?
