Ed Cesnalis Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I see post #12 confirming what I was thinking. It is necessary to have formulas to design things. The 'excess thrust' theory serves this purpose. In reality I question if there is a steady state mechanism to limit the wing's lift to precisely the aircraft's weight. I suspect there are no actual hard lines and it doesn't matter because the resulting net force is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lift, drag, thrust, gravity...it's the net of all that that changes things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you cut and paste the 'explanation' part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
