the Magnus effect is defined as a device that provides a moving wall on its body to influence the boundary layer around the device, in order to produce a lifting forceperpendicular to the flow direction. A rotorairplane is defined as an airplane which uses the Magnus effect for lift generation.
i saw a video on youtube where some Guys made something like this but with KFC Buckets so i tried to recreate that , but i cant make KFC Bucket so this was the result. i doubted myself that this thing could fly in simpleplanes but surprisingly it can but only with Gyros.
