*sigh*... lemme try another more simple explination...
you are stuck in a fast moving river... you kick you're feet and legs as fast as you can yet you get no where... but then you grab onto a branch/root hanging right above the water... you use both arms to pull your way up and along the branch upstream, no matter how much the stream speeds up an flows faster, you still can pull you way upstream with you arms(granted you're not a weakling) in this your legs are the planes wheels, usless, and your arms are the propellers, the branch is the air the propellers "grab"...
...let me know that this got through to at least 1 person....

I know exactly what you are saying, I've been into aeronautics for a long time...I'm was just saying that the shape of the wing determines a lot about lift not about if it would take off or not. Some body said air speed and I was saying thats only a small part...I'll think you kinda missed that
