The wing has a reflexed (negative angle of attack) trailing edge to reduce drag at cruise.
I'll get the course in a blink after we're at cruise.
Both V6s quiet down nicely at cruise though.
It was very difficult to safely recover from the loss of an engine at supersonic cruise due to differential thrust.
A drag count of 200 to 400 is typical for an airplane at cruise.
After being modified, the aircraft had an endurance at standard cruise of approximately 24 hours.
Less efficient than a propeller at cruise (at lower thrust level).
While quiet at cruise, both the 4-cylinder and V6 roar obtrusively, even during gentle acceleration.
The engine sounds coarse and unrefined during acceleration and never fully goes away at cruise.
The primary advantage of the Phoenix was better fuel efficiency at cruise, by up to 35%.
