lol what on earth is that? Adobe After Effects?

Interesting topic, but absolutely useless vid to me. A flat bit pointing down creates downforce? No kidding. I don't care what the names of the parts are. What do they do? How do they do it?

Here's the same guy explaining the same principle much better with clean old-fashioned animations rather than that fake steam mess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj5ZK314Cg0.

but it's still cool to see how the air is shaped by all those wings and ducts..even if it's cgi-smoke

But that's not how the air is shaped by the wings. That's how some studio artist thinks they might be shaped. Those weren't based on a computer model. Even I could see things that were misleading or left out entirely in the air shapes. I know a little bit about how wings create downforce, and it was not represented here, groovy graphics or no.>> ^mxxcon:
