So I’m thinking if I had a giant double wing, if one wing was angled to make 100lbs of down force, and the other was angled to make 100lbs of lift, I feel like it would cause more drag than if only one was set flat to make no lift, or if both were set flat to make no lift.
Do you think one wing flat and one angled would be the highest drag option of the 3 mentioned?
Or have I created a totally different scenario?
