Ernest,
Glad you are gainfully employed.
I am currently watching a "partner" self destruct a perfectly sound business Idea as I write this. Some people are their own worst enemy.
I will never be a part of a business venture unless I have controlling interest, or there is a very clear and specific shareholder agreement that spells out duties, with recourse to terminate the major shareholder for failure to perform said duties.
Some lessons are more expensive than others.
You are not alone Ernest.
Just chalk it up to an MBA from the school of hard knocks. I'm working on a PhD.
On a more pleasant note, C is a constant that varies with the airframe as Bob stated.
Drag varies with the square of velocity. Hp with the cube. That is why jets benefit more from drag reduction than a prop job.

Ernest,
Have you found employment?
Last I heard you were starting your own business.
What's the story?
I've been working at Netapp as a permanent employee since August. It
was the same company I was contracting with in February. It's nice to
have the imaginary stability of a permanent job with benefits.
My partner and I got the business going. I got us a contract that would
cover half our startup costs and provide us a base to grow from. My
partner "failed to deliver" his part of the functionality that we sold.
I'm still at a loss to explain this particular piece of prize
ineptitude. Long story short, we succeeded in turning a promising
system into a turd in record time. Now I'm sitting on a piece of decent
technology, that requires both some competent web technology and a
competent sales organization to drive it. It's just disgusting that two
years of work can go from so much potential to pointless so quickly.
