All I will say about these Graphs is that they are designed for engine out CLIMBS
No they're not. The drag/power curve is how much power you need to maintain LEVEL flight. If you have excess power over and above that, you can climb, or fly LEVEL at a faster speed. If you ONLY have enough power to fly level at the bottom of the curve, you CAN'T maintain level flight at any other speed.
