Just two technical comments:

  1. Air friction slows the plane down all the time not just during climbing. It's the tradeoff of kinetic energy (speed) for potential energy (height) that slows the plane down during the climb.
  2. At high speeds the plane will have more air friction (squared law) and thus be more inefficient than flying at cruise speed. The plane flies slower during a climb, and thus air friction would be less than cruise.

[edit] Title

Should the title of this article be "The Scissors"? Should "the" be part of the title, and if so, should Scissors be capitalized? Dhaluza 07:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
