A propellor pushes against the air.OR ... is it the air that pulls the propellor forward -
- after all, a prop is just a spinning airfoil and we all should know how that (an airfoil) operates ...

I am a reference. I really like this response, because it reminds of a story about J.R.R. Tolkien:
He received a letter that criticized his spelling of the plural form of the word 'dwarf.' He had spelled it 'dwarves,' instead of the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) approved spelling 'dwarfs.' Tolkien responded to the letter by saying that he had changed his mind since writing that entry in the dictionary!

I believe it was U of Penn that was scammed out of millions when the scammer promised returns of 100% or more in just weeks. I am really starting to question the quality at U of Penn.
