Arbitrary practice of assuming that angle of incidence can be equal to angle of attack at cruising speed, and measuring it from thrust line, normal seat inclination. or arbitrary fuselage reference line, can lead to fuselage attitudes which cause considerably more than their minimum drag; angle of incidence and attitude of fuselage should be such that minimum fuselage drag will occur at cruising speeds or even lower.
