X-Mozilla-Keys: BTW The way the formula for induced drag factor is CL^2/pi*A The lift coef CL is probably less than 0.1 while stright and level at high speed. If you pull 3 G's the CL must go to about 0.3. Therefore 0.3 squared is 0.09 while 0.1 squared is 0.01 or nine times less less drag!! Just a quick and dirty calculation to illustrate my point.
