i would like to see more like this and like your tail wind video or even a PPL Series test prep breakdown to help with the PPL Written specifically for people struggling with information overload going into 2024-2025
great video as always! couple minor pieces of feedback if you ever revisit: 1. it was a bit confusing at the beginning when the leading edge was to the left but then switched to the right while in motion 2. when you have a link in the video (such as the NASA) one, it would be awesome if you would be able to include it in the description as well 3. you might want to consider adding that weight isn’t always bad. much like you get induced drag when you have a positive AoA, you get “induced thrust” from your weight when you descend as part of the weight forces are acting in the direction of your thrust (in addition to the weight acting opposite lift) (at least to me, a humble but annoyingly chatty student, it helps contextualize induced drag forces a bit better, because we this experience this downhill descent force in a car all the time even when we aren’t applying thrust from the engine)
Dude I really appreciate you for taking the time to explain this
Great work :)

Alright then. I have one on basic flight maneuvers going live on the 9-19, so check that one out, and I created it with your comment in mind.
Excellent explanation!
Thanks Paul!

Thanks for the tips. Totally didn't notice the direction change when I made it. "Induced Thrust" nice!
