Re: The difference between FIRST students (and everyone else)

Right, that's what I'm trying to say. When a plane flies upside down, the airfoil is working against it so they need to increase the angle of attack greatly to stay aloft. Drag is huge and it is not a very efficient way to fly, but it can be done.
