The hand waving about lift is equally funny: people are attaching

This I definitely agree with.



No you don't



I plan eventually to make a small-scale model. Hopefully, someday, I
might find someone involved in aerodynamics/flight to help make a
prototype.


You couldn't make a succesful papaer dart.
