Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents. The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. lift, weight, gravity, and thrust. The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will change with an increase in gross weight.

The engines were also coupled with the General Electric D-23 turbosupercharger to utilize the engine exhaust as additional thrust.

Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. This is often the clean configuration at max gross weight. Gradually reduce thrust from cruise power.

But I have maintained 5000 feet at 6000 pounds gross weight,” notes Ross. Climbs and descents were normal, and while not stunning, it seemed like this airplane could carry a load up and over the hills if needed—even though it is designed to operate down low. Precisely what the single-engine ceiling is, the team can’t say. “We
