I can't help noticing you've somehow missed the cutsie reply when I
provided an actual reference that shows that your entire notion is
bull****...

You have failed to understand the question. A paper that answers a
different question is no good for answering the original question.


No, it deals with the facts of the situation that show that your answer
cannot possibly the correct one.

In trimmed flight, aerodynamic drag and thrust *cannot* possibly be
pointed at one another except potentially at one particular angle of
attack.


I'm done this time. Really.

Go ahead and get the last word. I know you will.


Yup. You're running away having shown no math, no references...



But he was right, and you were mostly wrong.

No. He was completely wrong and I was completely correct.
