thanks for the translation.

As someone with a very basic understanding of aerodynamics, I think the configuration of those boosters will just continuously pitch the wyvern down

I can only suspend my belief so much. I'll buy into isekai and magic but I draw the line when plainly unfeasible airpower is portrayed!

(half tongue in cheek, half serious. It's hard to see that and not cringe just a little bit.)
The knight would also have to rely on his grip to stay on board, while the dragon fly at mach something.

So it's a kind of a flying wing that the wyverns are used for, isn't it?

there are airplane models in which the engines are placed at the rear of the plan or in somewhat similar fashion to this one. Air Force's A-10 is one example that pops in my mind
In this case, from the images I googled and some KSP intuition - this plane has low wings, but the engines are directed only a tiny bit above the center of mass.
So pitch down would be a healthy amount (having none or pitch up makes some situations awkward), while low wings improve stability on turns at the cost of overall stability.

And in this manga - only the very last image looks 100% uncontrollable. Engines are angled just comically high up. If you try to compensate for it by angling control surfaces - you are giving up how much more you can pitch up, making the whole thing aerodynamically inefficient and unstable, while also complicating controls, because the angle to compensate would depend on the speed.

Aerospace engineer here
These will generate thrust at the cost of a negative lift (pitch down), but since bladeless fans dont steamline the flow in front of the intake the effect is minimal.

Since wyverns are flapping wing aircraft that dont generate steady shape lift (the airfoil kind) and instead the lift is vertical, this is little extra lift energy in exchange for greater horizontal velocity

I cant speak to efficiency, but most modern fighter aircraft are dynamically unstable by design (greater agility) and I think since the aircraft is, you know, a living creature, the control architecture is capable of handling more diverse output

And here I thought MC was one of those "war bad, lets not have any super or secret weapon, old or new ones. Our soldiers' grit, determination, skills and basic equipments will always save the day".
He strapped a magic jet pack on his wyverns and strapped more armor on them. This dude is one of the Japanese that was glad to have Article Six or something in their constitution ammended just a bit. The few who wants an actual aircraft carrier but is okay with just a "helicopter carrier/destroyer" but figure they can jury rigged it later to launch F35s.
It's really simple. He prefers peace but he's not stupid enough to think that ignoring weapon and military advancement is going to do anything except make them easy targets.

Oooh interesting :3 I wonder what other secret weapons will be developed.

Mecha Godzilla and anti magic bomb

If you apply real science , forget about aerodynamic the wyvern should not able to fly in the first place. Especially the bigger ones or dragons, they could not even stand under their own weight.

Would you just marry Carla, already. I mean even Liscia asked you to do that from the beginning. I know that, so far, according to the WN and/or LN that he never does....sigh.
If so, thats incredibly disappointing

Bro just have sex with your wives already
Wait until Excel start sex ed for the King and his Queens. There's also a mysterious Black Book from that sex ed.

And when I said, "The shield successfully failed", it will happen later after this secret weapon introduction.
