GoneWest,

Mr Boeing states that for level unaccelerated flight, thrust and drag must be equal and opposite, and the lift and weight must be equal and opposite according to the laws of motion, you then get:

T=D
L=W

He then goes on to justify it mathematically, resulting in……

L/ ä = 1481.351 CL M2 S
D/ ä = 1481.351 CD M2 S
W/ä = 1481.351 CL M2 S
T/ ä = 1481.351 CD M2 S
