Positive Tail Loads for Minimum Induced Drag of Subsonic Aircraft

By applying Prandtl's relation for the induced drag of a biplane to typical wing-tail combinations, it can be shown that the minimum induced drag occurs with a positive tail upload. This fact has been overlooked because the reduction in the total induced drag by a tail download was overestimate...
