LOL, I have heard of things resembling this concept. In underwater for example air bubbles swarming the submersible can reduce drag.

I did come up with an invention idea that is related here.

I wondered, if a person was do build a design correctly to create a plante that flies itself.

Lift is created by gaining speed through the air to create motion etc, and allow the air to pass over the wing structure to create the lifting effect etc...
Now, if one was to build such a plane where the engines were located in such a posistin that they provided substantial thrust of air over the fusilage even while the plane/flying machine was at rest relative to the ground, would it, could it fly, and even maybe hover?

For an example. If you take a plane and put it in a wind tunnel. And hold it from blowing backwards it will try to take off. Now, lets attatch a hypothetical engine that blows air through a vent to a high energy lifting wing structure of the fusilage and create some lift, and redirect the remaining air flow downwards to prevent undesired motion and add to the lift.

Whats the thoughts on this wild idea lol.
