In my country, our gliders move forward because the wing produces
thrust, and our sailboats move over the water because the sail produces
thrust. Whether we should rule the world is causing much controversy.


In my country (Holland) students will be disqualified from their examination
when they make an "interesting" remark like this. Reducing induced drag is
what winglets do and gravity is the engine of our gliders.
