Nope. The lift/drag vectors are different as the AOA

Powered aircraft are gliders when the engines are off.
WEll, your engine has been off for some time and you're not a glider.

Well......I guess ole' Mx could perform an experiment that proves his
point here.
If what he says has merit (God help us :-) that big ole 747 up there
with all 4 shut down should actually be able to CLIMB in those l'll ole'
thermals right over there now shouldn't it


God I hope he starts on gliders.

I got as thousand nopes in my pocket waiting.

Some of the stuff he posts would simply be hilarious were it not for
those taking him on in vain attempts to straighten him out. The threads
involving all these elaborate counter explanations to the drivel he
posts just amaze me.
You're right; "nope" is absolutely the way to go with him and those like
him.
I've been watching some of these folks who are right on in the physics
department taking on this hot rabbit character on the lift issue.
Why the living hell anyone in their right mind would take the time to
deal with this from a serious standpoint is beyond my level of
comprehension. I've never seen so much utter bull**** in my life on a
serious flying forum.
The complete information about lift including all the corrections for
the misuse of Bernoulli in some of the texts are so readily available a
5 year old child could both find and understand them. Yet it goes
on....and on......and on!
Anyway, it's entertaining if nothing else!
Yup.........definitely....."Nope" is the way to go.
