I had an idea I thought I would try out - the idea is based on the concept of backspin like on a tennis ball applied to create lift on an aircraft.
Instead of having wings, have a pair of back-spinning high-speed conveyor belts (the bottom of the conveyor belt goes in the direction the plane is traveling) - going against the flow air and creating high pressure beneath the craft. and the upper part goes with the flow of air creating low pressure above.
I realize drag might be a problem depending on the viscosity between the treadmill and the air, but I want to know; would such a machine lift off the ground?
