It has been put forward that for an aircraft to be in trimmed out condition with all forces in balance, the thrust line must be pointed at the drag line. So let's do a thought experiment... ....wait. We don't need to do a thought experiment.

....and the plane pulls up on the earth. The air pushes up on the plane and the plane pushes down on the air; essentially transferring the earth's continuous flow of downward momentum acting on the plane to a much greater mass of air. That air keeps that downward momentum, diffusing it through...
