Ok, I'll bite...

Would it be the same amount of horsepower if spread
over a two-place ship's wing-span...as it would if
the 1100lbs was a lead weight?

So, if were climbing at an average of 300 FPM (5 fps)in
a two place
ship weighing 1100 pounds ... can we say we are
extracting/consuming/obtaining 10 HP from the thermal
...
