Don't know why the he'll my brain short circuit ed when I read this. You're absolutely right with regard to airfoil + air frame. I can't find my notes from the specific year of study in HS which is a damn shame, but my idea of fluid dynamics as the aircraft enters the upper atmosphere is hazy, but my thought process is skeptical of the influences of reduced air density being helpful for nav/stability. Even if I am wrong, though, I'm more than certain the team is leaps and bounds more educated on the matter and taking appropriate precautions.
