A lift force generating aircraft having an engine and a thrust force producing device. A pair of elongated and rotating bodies, an axial centerline through the bodies extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a fore to aft axis extending between the engine and thrust-producing device and at a location above a center of gravity associated with the engine and thrust-producing device. The rotating bodies being constructed of a material inflatable to a desired pressure. A rotary output associated with the engine rotating the bodies, causing them to deflect to angles lesser than the perpendicular with the fore to aft axis, and in response to air stream forces acting upon the bodies in order to reduce drag forces experienced on a rear side of the rotating bodies.
