The two categories, which I’ve temporarily named “Drag-loaded” and “Anti-lift-loaded” are based on this understanding: Terminology - forces
The underlying question is: In which direction does the force apply which is used to do work?
The names are terrible, but when using the names Drag and Lift it’s a bit confusing, because in drag the “working” force is in the same direction as drag, but with lift the “working” force is opposing lift.
