"If you change the incidence of the wing, you actually change
the incidence of the fuselage. The wing remains in the same position
during flight."
This is true, just to givea visual
idea,I have a friend who raced formula V racers. Since for a
significant part of flight he was pulling a lot of gs going around pylons,
he noted that since his wings were coaxed into a much higher angle of
attack to pull those Gs, the fuse was dragging through air at less than
streamlined head on angle. He then increased angle of attack of wings to
some crazy amount that allowed fuse to be streamlined during racing. Said
it worked as planned and he went faster. During 1 G flight he said
visability over nose was outstanding!
