busi,

And which control do you have to adjust the drag???:confused::confused:

If you want a particular performance, you set a power and an attitude. The drag takes care of itself (unless we're...

Pace,

I'm going to just add one thought here to try and get the point across.

Do you agree (assuming our relationship is amicable enough to allow me to ask questions!!) that an aircraft which...

Please do Pace.

Set yourself up on one, then reduce power so you are only holding altitude at Vyse. If you are light this will be a few knots below blue line (which is Vyse at MTOW), so experiment...

Actually, you have repeatedly said you believed the aircraft produced LESS drag at greater speed because of reduced A of A, and got rather snooty with me when I pointed out that, above Min drag...

Yes, the forhead has been getting a workout on the wall here!!:ugh:

Pace,

Two quick questions which might help clear things up:-

1) At what speed do YOU believe your Seneca produces minimum TOTAL drag?

2) Why descend to accelerate? If you have excess power...

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...

We're close, Pace, but still not there. As I've said, Vyse is not exactley minimum drag speed, but it is towards the bottom of the drag curve. Fly at any speed other than minimum drag speed and drag...

Pace,

We are actually closer to agreement than you recognize, at least in terms of technique. Flying level at a higher speed rather than climbing slowly at Vyse may indeed have merit as a...

Pace, the difference is that I am stating facts, not opinion.

Best rate of climb, single engine is just that. Minimum drag is just that. Maximum altitude is just that. You claim to somehow...

Pace,

Last post for me as you've proven you're not good at listening.

If, in the above situation you now lower the nose to accelerate (assuming you were at the correct Vyse at the time), your...

By any chance do you mean that L= CL*1/2 rho*V>2? Cause it does.

If what you said above were true, then the faster you went, the less total drag you'd produce, and the aircraft would just keep...

Pace,

Drag is made up of form drag, which increases as the square of velocity, and induced drag, which does indeed increase with angle of attack.

This is where we come up with the drag curve,...
