You give yourself too much credit with your analogy to the invewntion of flight. People dreamed of flying and had many ideas before they hit on one that worked. Your proposal sounds more like the myth of Daedalus and Icarus than the Wright brothers.
For a so-called ex-professor, you are just too stupid too argue with. And for goodness sake, learn to type - your posts are full of typo's. And finally, don't lie - just because you want it to be, 17,000 feet is not the same as 6,000 feet.
