I agree with you Tinstaafl, but just out of interest...

Is there a common name for the resolved portion of the total force that acts vertically wrt to the ground (eg the component that opposes gravity).

In S&L flight this component is the same as the lift component but not in a climb. Do the books have a name for it?
