I can assure you that you are incorrect with that answer. I haven’t got one readily available to me but if you can get yourself a copy of a detailed forces diagram of a aircraft in flight, you will see the lift slowly decreases to zero the closer an aircraft reaches a vertical climb or descent. In a vertical climb the only forces acting on an aircraft is thrust, weight and drag. In a descent it is weight and drag.
