Which is absolutely wrong. The wing is the "plane" part of airplane and coincidentally the part that creates lift. You know... planing through the air and all that.

If it were true that the elevator and thrust were what create lift then I've been wasting time building wings all these years only to find out that they have no useful purpose.

Instead I could build a fuselage with four elevators at 90 degrees to each other mounted on the end of a fuselage, put a motor in it someplace and call it a rocket.
