Aye but thats the reason why BEagle was trained to teach RAF pilots to fly both prop planes and also heavy tin.

If you draw a force vector diagram it will become clear.

Its a pity our academc mod plus friends are no longer with us Gengis would have cleared this one up in a couple of posts.

As a pilot I really don' care whats going on at the back be it plus or minus or for that matter where the center of pressure is at various speeds.

The engineers sort that out in the design and flight envelope specifying what I can and can't do.
