[QUOTE="Jason Freeland, post: 4331124, member: 45827"] Think high pressure underneath and lower pressure above contributing to lift. It's not much different than Bernoulli's principle, used in lift, just uses a different shape and engine thrust as the high pressure fluid. Read the explanations on the AN-72 page, they are a bit simpler if I'm remembering correctly. STOL stuff is fun, my father's friend while I was growing up, had a Helio Courier that we would borrow. It was a blast taking off in the front yard, out in Piedmont. We actually had a grass strip in the backyard, but the Helio didn't need it, the take off and landing run was so short. [/QUOTE]
