I see you have decided not to argue against the facts for a change.

There may be hope for you yet.


Idiot boy, do you not think that a PROPERLY TRIMMED boat, ie: weight
distribution, would out perform the exact same boat that was not
trimmed properly, but instead used trim tabs?


No, it would not. Equalization of weight would not outweigh the advantages
of the lift provided by trim tabs.

Let me ask you a question, if a boat with trim tabs is able to plane at 20
knots with the tabs adjust correctly, but must achieve 30 knots to plane
without tabs, will adjusting the weight distribution in the boat allow the
boat to plane at 20 knots as it could with the tabs?

You can do the exact same thing with an aircraft, you can either trim
it out by distributing the weight properly, which then you don't need
to use tabs to trim it, or you can stick trim tabs out in the air.
Now, which would YOU think more fuel efficient??


Do you really think the dynamics of an aircraft flying through air is the
same as a planing hull on water?
