Andrew, This is open to debate.I went and read some of this "Book".It
proves the old adage dont believe everything you read on the web.You
need to understand that Denker is just expressing his opinions, and
this could be why he doesnt use any math to back it up.That being
said, I can respect Denkers opinions but they are just that.I would
like to know where some of his assumptions come from.

This particular section is not about how
airplanes are flown in every day life, but an indepth exploration of
the factors that influence power, density, drag and AOA.

I can appreciate the fact that Denker is using a classroom situation
to prove a point, but in order for his explination to be true, you
have to suspend certain realities about how a plane flies.Tell me how
this helpfull.

Just because
you operate a jet does not make you an expert in aerodynamics.

Ouch, dude I never claimed to be an expert did I?Now I will claim to
know what I need to know to fly an airplane, and I have seen Denkers
type before.He thinks you have to go deep into therory in order to be
a safe pilot, and ironically, he doesnt always get the therory
right.Mabe there is a happy medium somewhere between being able to
design a plane, and just going out and flying it.

If you are able to provide a better explanation, please do so, but it
seems to me that it is you who needs to spend some time reading up on
the basics.

Better explination for what?Why do you asume that I do not have a
grasp of the basics?Are you another troll.
