Weight affects horizontal speed, but it is MARIGINAL


Wow! Have I stepped on someone's corner of the internet?

Once again. Forest for the trees.

Nobody has disputed the direct effect is a marginal loss in speed. However a marginal loss in speed does not classify the affects of weight as marginal in totality.

Simply put, that is just basics when it comes to aerodynamics.

It’s like a doctor trying to prove that the tiny spot of lung cancer on the x-ray is marginal because it only affects a small portion of the lungs.


All the best,
