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.
