My apologies if my explanation was unclear, but that's what I thought I said.

No problem at all. Aerodynamic discussion can get very sticky especially if conditions are not well defined.

While weight effects are smaller at high velocity, they are far from insignificant. Weight certainly makes a difference not matter what portion of the envelope we examine.

The relationship with velocity is direct at a constant Angle of Attack. The reality is that the aircraft does not always have the power available to maintain the necessary angle of attack so it must increase the angle of attack to account for weight.

I have enjoyed this discussion with you, Graham.

All the best,

Crumpp
