When flying S&L, thrust and drag cancel each other out
Is thrust not in excess of drag ?
Not a dig mate, im just trying to keep up with you boffs
Im probably going to show up my ignorance here.
Lift is a function of dynamic pressure, AoA and surface area.
So in a descent at a constant speed (IAS) and with a constant surface area (ie no flap) if you lower your AoA, then surely you reduce the amount of lift produced ??
Good discussion, coz Im studying principles of flight at the moment and this forum is really helping.
