Do fixed wing aircraft spend a lot of the time going backwards? Do they, for example, need to turn around and point their engine in the direction of travel in order to slow down? If a fixed wing accelerates to 1000mph and then rotates it’s nose by 90 degrees, how fast is it going and in what direction? What about a space craft?
