A lift or drag coefficient the farfield is trimmed to reach, by turning its angle of attack.

| Key | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [`alpha`](/reference/model/boundary-conditions/farfield/target/alpha) | settings block |  | Turn the angle of attack, starting from the condition's own velocity, until the coefficient is met. |
| [`axes`](/reference/model/boundary-conditions/farfield/target/axes) | settings block |  | Body axes the angle of attack and the forces are measured in. |
