Backwash Causes Lift?
Le Chaud Lapin writes:
However, that mess will be less than static pressure, and there will still be compression beneath the wing. So if thrust is great enough, airplane should be able to do whatever it wants. Pressure beneath the wing is not what lifts the aircraft. It's the twisting acceleration of air above the wing downward that results in lift.
