gums didn't fly in wind tunnels, nor in perfect gas, nor in a totally rigid plane, always in complex transient combinations.
Perhaps other physical models than official models do the plane fly . ie viscoplastic model is never used, where the chains of molecules brake partially, or scratched molecules like Velcro patches, or ....!
