Free-molecule aerodynamic coefficients are computed for a flat plate surface element at various angles of attack using the normal and tangential accomodation coefficients and the Nocilla model of the gas/surface interaction. The Nocilla model assumes that the molecules reflect from a surface in the form of a drifting Maxwellian with a mean velocity at a specific temperature. The computations use curve fits of the angular variation of the existing measurements of the accomodation coefficients and of the parameters in the Nocilla model. The two methods indicate that a surface element has considerably more lift than predicted by an assumption of diffuse scattering. In other respects the predictions by the two methods do not agree.
