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

I give that pillow a good strong toss ...
Nope. It went staight down. Splat!


Did you put the feathers on the =outside= of the pillow? They have to
be outside, in the airflow, to provide any lift at all.


Not only that, I'll bet he didn't give the pillow any directions, as to
which direction to fly. The pillow thought it was *supposed* to fly
straight down!
