Giant Magnus Effect Model

Imagine an airplane that ditches boring old wings for spinning cylinders.

As the cylinders spin, they create a pressure difference, literally pulling the plane upward. YouTuber and experimenter ProjectAir tested the Magnus effect and built this unusual giant — check it out!
