True that.
From F=kDLV^2 there's a hop. skip and a jump to HP = kDLV^3/375 with no consideration to interference drag, area rule, integration of composite shapes, etc.

If we want to get into this,Hoerner's 1951 book has everything we'd need to approximate drag as close as aeronautical engineers were doing circa WW-II.
Also,the book 'TECHNICAL AERODYNAMICS of 1935 has complete workups as well.
It's no cakewalk,but it is doable.
