Default Greater lift for aircraft

Aircraft get greater lift just after takeoff if they leave their
landing gear down. That's because the tires are still rotating from
takeoff and they provide lift in the airstream via the Magnus effect.
Betcha ole Bertie didn't know that.



Betcha old Bertie has forgotten more about airplanes than you'll ever know,
fjuckwit.
