TonyPass1,

yes I know how a sail works. But "sideways lift" won't it just make the airhip go sideways. On a ship, if you remove the daggerboard/keel will the ship be able to sail angled upwind? Don't we need sideways "resistence" from the water. If a boat just floated on top of the water (actually flying then), will it be able to sail upwind. I don't think so. Will it?

If you mount a mast and sail on an officechair with free spinning weels, would you be able to "sail" it upwind on the local parking lot? Will it go sideways?
