You talked about counter-rotating props. That alone will do you no good in the attempt to go DDWFTTW. Yes, putting one prop in one air-mass and the other in a separate air-mass that moves relative to the first could potentially be used to make a vehicle go DDWFTTW relative to one of those air-masses.
But in reality, you wouldn't use two props, but rather a prop and a turbine.
Of course you could answer this by bringing up railroad cars, balloons, and the slingshot effect. Or we could try and discuss this point until we reach some understanding.
What about a submarine with counter-rotating props? (i.e. DDSFTTS or Directly DownStream Faster Than The Stream)
