My study of aerodynamics thus far indicates that it is impossible, unless you
descend to catch your descending wake. Wakes _always_ descend. It's a
consequence of the mechanism that produces the lift that sustains the
aircraft, and it's unavoidable. Every source that I have consulted points
this out, without exception. Your mere assertion to the contrary is
completely unpersuasive in comparison.

It just means you don't know a whole lot about real flying or what
happens in a real airplane.

No, it means that I look at the facts, and I don't depend on the legends.

Have you ever done a short field take off in your Flight Simulator
Cessna with the springy gear and had the mains vibrate for a few
seconds shaking the airplane?

I don't fly the Cessna, and I fly only at airports with hard, smooth runways
that won't bounce the aircraft around.
