Yes. I may have misread your previous post as "distance/time" meaning
"distance or time" (not distance over time).

Force * distance = work
Work / time = power
Thrust = force

A constant IAS requires constant power to maintain at any altitude. A
constant TAS requires constant power to maintain at only one altitude;
if the altitude increases, the power required diminishes, and vice
versa. The power produced by most powerplants diminishes with
altitude; the thrust they can maintain at a given IAS varies directly
with the power.

I think I have that right. It's easy to get confused.
