Backwash Causes Lift?
Le Chaud Lapin writes:
Also, if you don't mind, I would like to understand what you mean here. You can only push the wing upward if something else is pushed downward. Thus, the wing generates lift only to the extent that it diverts a substantial mass (of air) downward. No downwash, no lift.
