reduced disk area negligable 2nd order effect
a/c pitch up at speed normally changes the flight path in part by increasing the angles of attack anf TRT
but once you arrive near the critical cone angle then an increase in pitch rate will have the opposite effect and TRT will counterintuitively reduce again
rather annoyingly for this and especially (many other) pilots at high DAs
(critical cone angle is less at increased DA)
