Thanks bookworm, for the information, yes, ram recovery certainly exists, with INCREASING thrust at higher speeds, even for the high bypass engines. Maybe not as much as for the old-timers, but recovery nonetheless as opposed to various assertions that thrust continues to decline as speed increases.

Multiply that increased thrust by the increased speed, and we have GREATER THAN LINEAR increase in POWER, which directly impacts upon Jet climb performance.

I rests me case your honour.

Regards,

Old Smokey
