Climb is not dependant on lift.

Getting to the thread headline, "Climb is not dependant on lift", one can play the words a wee bit.
This refers to WW2. Now, no WW2 aircraft flown by a pilot could climb without  lift, if you see what I mean :D
Cut them wings off and the kite won't fly.

But HiTech got my head spinning a bit, but it was all about the availabiliy of lift. So, I must say thanks again for clearing up some definitions HiTech :aok , but basically I wasn't that lost at all in the base theory.

(I think :confused: )
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
