I know you guys think I'm an idiot. It's good of you not to come right out and say so.
MEsae, I was thinking that was called recirculation or something like that instead of settling with power, or vortex ring.
Anyway,
ADAM_ONE:
The principle is the same with a plane in the air (or whatever is flying), but since the air density is much lower than the floor's, you need to move the air molecules downwards in order to get enough kinetic energy to give you enough force upwards (action - reaction).
The heli uses the rotor blades to do that, while the plane uses the wings.
I thought this was the Newtonian principle of flight and was generally not accepted. I was thinking it was based on Bernoulli or Coanda or something like that instead of just whacking molecules down and deflecting the wing the other way.
If this thread is annoying and stupid, just let it die. Otherwise, thanks for your time everyone. I appreciate it.
