Longtime friend and associate Mary Shafer from NASA has supplied the
following answer you might find useful.

Mary Shafer (shafer@ferhino.dfrf.nasa.gov) explains lift:

--the real, intuitively-obvious-even-to-the-lay-person explanation of lift.

People, lift is caused by lift demons. These little, invisible demons hold
on to the leading and trailing edges of the aircraft and lift it into the
air by flapping their wings (so, in a reductionist sense, lift is actually
caused by feathers). Some of the demons are a little confused and they hold
on backwards, causing drag.

The reason that planes stall at high alpha is that the leading edge demons
get scared and let go when they can't see the ground anymore.

Lift demons have good taste and don't like to look at ugly aircraft, so they
hold on backwards on ugly planes. That's why gliders have so much lift and
so little drag and why F-4s have lots of drag.

Geez, I love this news group. Thanks Dudley. Now I've got to look up
my old Flight Instructor and set him straight, lol!

Stalls are where you keep the horses for the horse power, so be careful how
you avoid them, you might run out of power.

Mary used to post a lot on rec.aviation.military but I've not seen any posts
from her for ages. She always has something fascinating and insightful to
say. I've not seen anything from her on there for ages. Did she retire from
Nasa recently?

Yes, Mary is retired from NASA. She and her husband now live out in the
desert and are enjoying the good life.

You may have purchased the wrong program! I think you may have meant to buy
'Microsoft Rocket Simulator 2004'. That's the game where the craft go
straight up! Sounds like you'd be good at it!
Cheers,
Chris

Dudley,
There is actually only one thing that keeps an aircraft in the air...
(holding up fist full of dollar bills)...THIS is what REALLY keeps aircraft
in the air!

We have an old saying in the warbird community, "all you need to fly is
airspeed and money". The faster and higher you want to fly, the more money
you need
