I didn't think FF was proportional to drag but to density......so higher altitude would mean same drag at a given IAS but lower density=lower FF. I dunno though thats why I ask.
But specifically now I am looking at obtaining max ground speed in a turbine powered airframe......is it as simple as climbing until you can't maintain max IAS(EAS)? Then above that keep climbing until you reach a AOA for max range?
