Moscow on the Hudson 1984 Movie. I watched it because my Wife asked me if the actors in the movie were actually speaking Russian. I...

I saw The Meg and Meg 2. Both seem to be made for a Chinese audience. No, I do not speak or really understand much Mandarin.

Lando Norris finally got his first win!

Zooming would obviously be any climb where airspeed is being traded for increased altitude. Eng

Next obvious question would be: At what angle of climb do you NOT consider it a Zoom Climb? 30 Degrees above horizontal? 80 Degrees...

Here is a silly question for you: If an aircraft goes vertical when translating KE to Altitude, is it considered a Zoom Climb? If so...

In a vacuum with no aerodynamic effects, No. If we add Engine Power, the advantage goes to the Lighter aircraft. If we add Air...

“May the Fourth be with You!” “…And Altho with You!” A Lithp ith tho much Fun!

In post #20 I did mention that the induced drag would be a bit higher for the heavier Thunderbolt. At fairly low altitudes, the...

You are correct. An aircraft with twice as much mass (weighing twice as much) would have twice as much inertia resisting change in...

Hello GregP, This is getting frustrating. Please go back and read post #20. I know you quoted it but I don't think you actually read it...

Absolutely! Increased Mass retains Inertia better but it also gets pulled down harder by Gravity. Funny thing is that the two balance...

Hello PBehn, We are discussing Zoom Climbs, not Terminal Velocity Dives. We are starting off in Level Flight at some speed and trade off...

You are still not understanding. We are not talking about TWO different aircraft. We are talking about ONE aircraft with a lot of KE in...

Over the years, I have also had lots of "missed opportunities" at great "bargains". Many of them were such good deals that I would...
