No, don't keep that in mind. The formula is also for moving vehicles. Stop this ridiculous behavior of changing what people say and then pretending to agree with them.

Where in that equation do you see the vehicle speed ?

Also, stop this ridiculous behavior of asking snarky and patronizing questions.

Specifically, you're ignoring the thrust from the propeller. There is thrust (it's a turning propeller, after all) so where does that figure in your equation?

The equation is correct.
We are discussing the simpler upwind version.
The propeller trust in the direct downwind version can only be lower than the braking at the wheel witch powers that propeller.

All you're saying there is "I want you to waste your time and then I'll find some dubious reason why I'll still ignore the evidence." If the equation says to you that those experiments that work can't actually work, then either the equation is wrong or you're using the wrong one.

"The thing works" When did I claim it does not ?
It just does not work the way you think it does.

I think that is a perfectly normal question to ask. If you think my questions are patronizing then that is your problem not mine.
