Good comment.

Nit: aerodynamic drag force is modeled as quadratic (squared) with speed. The power required is force times velocity, which means the power is cubic with speed, but the force is only quadratic.




Good catch! Knew I was missing something when the other comment referenced a quadratic relationship. (Updated)
