Descent Ground Effect Thrust 
Fear of Landing
MAY 3, 2024
Once stable in ground effect, the pilot shut down EPU1 (left-side outboard) to simulate the performance in the case of an engine failure. As a result, there was no longer enough vertical thrust, although, to be fair, the prototype remained level as it descended towards the ground. A vertical descent rate of 19.5

Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. Gradually reduce thrust from cruise power. Climbs and Descents During Slow Flight It’s counterintuitive, but pitching up will not result in a climb during slow flight.
