Not much to discuss. The link is correct. The actual physics behind the generation of lift do not lend themselves to gross simplications. Like Barbie says, math is hard.

I think more Money then Airspeed. If you have a little Airspeed you can have lift but if you have a little Money you can forget about the Airspeed.

I thought trees made airplanes move?

To explain it in even greater detail, the money to noise converter is what produces the thrust required to.....never mind. It's the money.

Obamas stimulus program is what makes lift...Actually, Obama himself creates lift as we know it....

Is that lift or just mass amounts of hot air?????

To explain how lift works would take a great deal more room than what we have to work with here. Thrust is easier to explain and understand.

A small bit of thrust is generated some time after eating a plate of refried beans, or any sort of dairy-based sauce such as Alfredo sauce over pasta. Salad dressings work well also. The resultant thrust usually produces enough energy to drive my co-pilot out of the cockpit for at least 5 minutes. :laugh:
