Thanks for the input.
I know exactly what you mean about l/d and that... im just thinking conceptually here... high school science style.
What if we ignored parasite drag and consider purely lift and induced drag.
The faster you go, for some reason, the energy required to fly becomes less?
Why is that?
Pointless perhaps, but im just curious.
