Now, I'm confused! An airfoil cannot produce thrust
-- only 'lift.' But if an airfoil has a reverse counterpart,
the two are joined at the center and rotated about
an axis in a vertical plane, they are then a propeller;
this produces 'thrust.'


Well if that last statement is true then the earlier one
is false. Do propellers produce thrust?
