Wow Monty,
 I just figured it out. The drag thing must be why all those
canard guys are trying to fly their planes backward! If drag gets
exponentially smaller the slower you go, then if you can fly
backward then drag must turn into thrust! This must really screw
up the cooling though. Even a rotary will have trouble if you try to
run it backward, we talked about this before I just didn't
understand
the application.
Oh WOW ;-) Bill Jepson
