I'm really looking at the point where the velocity goes to zero.
Well, if you are serious about the reeeeally low velocity case,
that's been understood since 1851 ... more than fifty years before
Kitty Hawk. I'm not sure how low the local velocity can be,
experimentally, for a real dirigible, especially outdoors, but if
you're sure the zero-velocity limit is what you want ....

And yes, it's linear.
