No, I was just trying to see the connection you were making. The relationship between form drag and induced drag, I wasn't sure if it goes deeper than they are both drags that occur because of pressure.

No I did not mean this. I have a degree in aviation and have been reading a lot since graduation about various aspects of flying, especially aero. I use these and other forums as a place for discussing topics, the only goal being to further my understanding by seeing if the points I make are agreeable to others. Edit: If they are not than hopefully I can find out where to go to do more research on the topic.
