58 and doing an assignment on flight on the backside of a drag curve? Contemplating the possible reporting for a fake user... Think about it, the backside of the drag curve means that you need more power the higher your angle of attack to maintain the current altitude, ie. the transition between flight and hover in a fixed wing aircraft where the thrust vector is keeping the plane up instead of lift.
