Yup, remember my physics teacher talking about drag, thrust, gravity and lift.

And explaining how lift was generated by the curvature of the wing, that air above had to travel farther than air going under, so created lower air pressure--kinda a vacuum effect --and that's what generated 'lift'. And that' pretty much all that generated 'lift'.

He tried to avoid calling on me---I was the guy that'd say stuff like 'ya--how come they can fly upside down, then?'
