This may be a bit weird but please consider my idea..
Flying Machines like the aeroplane work on the principles of aerodynamic lift employing a special wing structure.
What if I make an alteration to this design such that these "wings" are replaced by moveable "curved surfaces" like the cylinder or any derivative of the sphere which can be moved (actually rotated) by varoious means like paddling or using an engine..
Actually I am trying to employ the Magnus effect, (& as I am not looking for huge scale implementation or commercial success) can this machine really fly by rotating these "wings" (or whtever they are) (predetermining the wind direction & thus adjusting the direction of rotation) just so much as to satisfy a poor man's thirst for adventure??
