He stated this piece of brilliance (besides not being able to spell):
"This is an over-simplication, and mostly wrong. There's an advantage in flying at higher altitude. You do have to fly faster to generate enough lift to keep you up there, but you don't generate any more drag, so you get where you want to go with less expenditure of energy. Variable pitch propellers help you do this."
So, flying faster DOESN'T generate more drag. Boy, will THAT be a revelation to aircraft designers! NEWS FLASH: flying faster DOES generate more drag! Just take the case of the fastest production aircraft ever built, the SR-71. It generated so much drag that the fuselage heated to 600F and required special cooling to get rid of the heat. This is called "parasitic drag"
