Flawed logic?

Very intreresting reading Chris.

But, there is a well understood reason a body reaches terminal velocity when it moves through a fluid.....in the case of a falling body the fluid (air) offers a resistance that prevents continued acceleration.

Your interesting analysis compares UD's performance to that of a group of peers...and the comparison is not favorable. But, it if anything, most of those peers have greater "resistance" to motion than Dayton. Yet their "velocity" (performance) is greater than ours and in some cases is still increasing.

The terminal velocity analogy offers no explanation for this. Dayton has advantages over most of its better-performing peers, i.e., if anything, the fluid we move through is "thinner" than theirs, offering less resistance.....yet our velocity is less than that of most peers.

Why is this?
