Up for another trivia question? From straight and level flight, what is the fastest way to accelerate? (be precise in the answer)
I got you bud, careful though cause the initial pull does have lift involved and wouldn't leave you at a no lift AOA. But I get what you mean once pointed up the cliff if you orient the nose to have no AOA or slightly negative in the case of a non symmetrical wing you can make the wing produce zero lift and thus no ground effect.

Just like you said, lift has no relation to the ground yet we make it appear this way in every flight training books.Up for another trivia question?

Next question, precise really? Point the nose down 90 degrees and if you want to die put in full power. When the wings rip off you will get a real good reduction in drag.
