Feel The Lift
So why don’t they make planes that look like this?
By making wings a particular shape we can get more LIFT and less DRAG than if we used giant hands. We’ll talk about wing design at a later time.
Thursten, or "Thrust" as he prefers to be called, is our resident technical genius. This is not a term used lightly... he really does have a brain the size of a planet and he solves a myriad of tricky problems for us. Thrust is particularly interested in the science of flight and, unlike many large-brain academics, is very good at explaining science in terms that normal people can understand.
