Chu Chu...you seem to have forgotten that 1x weight needs (lift=1xweight) to cancel it out....at that point the aircraft is "weightless" therefore, the only thing the pax will feel is the effect of the SURPLUS lift n' thrust.
Just another "outsider" as well but trying to use logic.
If you tie down any "normal" aircraft on a windy day, facing into wind, -
1- it will be blown backward until the pickets restrain it
2- it will lift because the airfoil is assymetric and approximately horizontal wrt the airflow and the ground.....
watch a soaring bird...it often "floats" upward whilst it's body remains horizontal.
Some of us as kids did aeromodelling and Meccano and steam-engines and stuff like that- wa learned a lot of practical skills....today's idiot-box viewers miss out, big style, no matter how fast they can also twiddle their fingers and thumbs with a controller/phone/remote.
