Salute!

Attention flyingfalcon!

We give up. We do not know what you want to hear, but for now I feel most here will let you continue to believe that trim affects speed and attitude. We have tried to erxplain AoA and attitude and reference systems and so forth. As planes became less and less like the WWI and early WW2 planes, the AoA versus Coeff of lift plot became less steep. The tendency to return to the "trimmed" AoA decreased. But given time, the plane would return to the trimmed AoA that is normally associated with one gee level flight speed.

The TRIM ON ALL BUT FBW SYSTEMS LIKE THE F-16 OR AIRBUS ATTEMPTS TO RETURN THE AIRCRAFT TO THE ANGLE OF ATTACK THAT IT IS TRIMMED FOR BEFORE AN UPSET OR CHANGE IN POWER. If that changes the pitch attitude with respect to the horizon, then BFD. So we give up and you win.

So let's move on, huh?
