Not only did you fail your private pilot course, you also failed high school English. Can I assume you've also started a thread on an English teacher's forum about the failures of the education system to teach your version of grammar?

It's all "BS"! Money $$$$$ makes everything fly!

"My research shows that planes fly based on the same principles as how birds fly; by pushing air downwards."
- Actually, more of the lift is from PULLING air downwards rather than pushing it downwards. Most of the lift comes from the air being pulled down by the top of the wing. Lose that, and even though you are still pushing down a good bit of air, your plane is stalled. But you already knew that, I guess you're just hoping a bunch of illiterate jury selectees won't.

The money shot comes at around 30 seconds.

So if the only lift comes from pushing air down, what are winglets for?

Duh, cuz they look cool. The wheels need spinners too, or I'm suing for being bored while watching others taxi by.

Well....but...wait....what?!?!

What if the airplane was on a treadmill? The myth busters showed it will fly!

Nick,

You are absolutely correct! It is time these lies and deception are exposed! The truth must come out, and I would be honored to represent you and the other victims.

This case should result in a multi Billion dollar award. I have already begun drawing up the papers, but will require a modest, good faith retainer to show you are committed. A check for $3000 would suffice in proving you are willing to fight what will undoubtedly be a long and arduous battle.

Please PM me for my contact information (too many folks here who might try to discredit me).

Together, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural fluids!

Best Regards,
Jack

P.S. It would be best if you make the check out to "cash."

Looks like he's deleting comments to his youtube video. He even told me in a reply (before he deleted it) that winglets make a wing more efficient, so I want to know exactly HOW do they make a wing more efficient if the only lift comes from flinging little air molecules down? He also acknowledged wingtip vortices...which is odd...

Technically, lift happens cuz little droplets of wind hit the bottom of the wings, pushing them upwards.
