Sorry, you are wrong. You are presuming that the wings are the only
source of lift on an aircraft.

Wings are the only things under discussion in such theoretical
scenarios.

As the original poster said, there
were airshow acts that use the side of the fuselage coupled with a
LOT of power to maintain knifedge level flight.

I'm sure you could use helium balloons, too, but that isn't an
automatic assumption because it is not universally true.

There's more to aerodynamics than Microsoft would lend you
to beleive.

I don't see any connection with Microsoft here.
