As to the formula: air resistance forces go up as the CUBE of (relative) wind speed, which is what i based my calculations upon. . of course, there is some interplay between other forces as well (engine friction, etc.), but it seems to be a good approximation and works out pretty closely to what i've read about reports of fuel consumption in combat (where the planes are usually flying at around maximum power).

btw.....nice to see you back Bob.

May the cube of resistance not leave you BINGO fuel again over an unfriendly thread.

But they can still be used in the game if you have them built.
