#7 It's just busting up the laminar flow. Nothing new.

By the way, at the very least the reporter got it all wrong (and possibly Mr. Engineer too) by talking about "lift". There is no such thing as "lift" or negative pressure on the top of the wing "sucking" the wing upward.

Airplanes (and helicopters) fly by pushing air DOWN. Remember Newton and his Actions and Reactions?
