Too funny how many people voted yes, it shows they cannot understand the simplest fundemantals of flight....
I voted no, grinned at the results
Yes, it will take off. 69% (51)
No, it won't take off. 30% (22)

In a poll of 73 people, only 30% understood the question and how an airplane flies, it's Christmas Eve, 2005, and people still just don't understand even the basics, no wonder it took mankind so long to build the first airplane.......
I guess you should explain to people how an aerofoil works within that question, you would be educating the general public, good job on the question, it's enlightening coupling it with the poll
For the record, it cannot fly because there isn't enough lift, "even produced from the prop" in the traditional airplane since it's not displacing the proper volume of air around the wings, add some fans and/or wind and you are good to go if enough volume exists, "
take note Navy air craft carriers, you can reproduce this suggestion in case you wanted to shorten the runways".
The air taking more time to travel over the top of the surface needs to meet up with the air traveling underneath the wing causing lift trying to even itself out. If you want a more direct visual, place an object in the water, especially a square one, you'll notice force from the eddy/wake it creates in certain areas, this force is what pushes the wing up. Thrust does help, but it's purpose is to get that "stream" of air to surround the wing out of proportion, causing a more fine tuned eddy and the reaction of it trying to balance itself naturally creates and upwards thrust motion.
