OK --there is no lift from any drag generated
and there is no drag from lift generation
Now I have it.
( I look at lift and drag as being sorta like pitch black night and bright sunlight.
they are at the ends of a theoretical "light" line but actually irrevocably linked. )
like a bright night or a dark day
Dick,
No, you don't have it, and you aren't interpreting my statement correctly. One component of drag, induced drag, is indeed caused by lift, but that does not make it equivalent to lift. Lift is not caused by drag. Lift and drag are not two extremes on a spectrum, as light and dark are. That model is fundamentally wrong.
