Hi Jane-doh
Hope you are safe. I was about to bring up 'lifting body', parasite fighter, and 'gremlin'.
Many folks disapprove of lifting body, NASA liked it well enough to base the Shuttle on it.
Problem? Intuitively, and visually, things that don't look like wings make Bernoullians anxious.
Newton. Deflected energy can "lift". Simples. Bernoulli was a Swiss 'plumber'.
