Very long boring technical discussion of Lift Faries adn Thrust Demons....(NASA)

: "ChuckSlusarczyk" wrote ... First honest thing I've read in this thread. Lift is caused by feathers is a known scientific fact and I can prove it . I hate to get involved in these "what causes lift" threads but this is nonsense. An ostrich after all, with all it's feathers, CAN'T FLY. I already stated a couple weeks ago that flight is magic. A well known fact. Such silliness as "feathers" and "lift demons" is just an attempt to avoid being burnt at the stake by the fearful masses. Rich Ostriches just don't have enough feathers to fly. As demonstrated by the Canada Goose, one pound of feathers lifts five pounds. An average 250 pound ostrich needs 50 pounds of feathers to fly.
