Re: A business proposition to ADInfo.com

Can we make it a policy to fly them in direct law ONLY? (otherwise inverted won't work)
I think that today's world needs a Vegetarian Airline:
- Direct Law on the flight deck
- Coleslaw for the customers

Re: Are [i]we[/i] comfortable with how wings work?

A flattish surface moving through a fluid with an AOA is all you need to generate lift.
