comment Concerning the curvature of an airfoil (shape)
The force is because the blade is spinning. A wing is travelling in a straight line, but a rotating blade has all the mass of the blade trying to fly outwards!

comment Why does the sky look black in pictures taken from the summit of everest?
@user22834 - The explanation for these observations is that your second paragraph is incorrect.

+1 ... it does this on every high flying aeroplane, and I have always enjoyed that deep blue above the curve of the horizon.

comment Is a purely vertical or almost vertical orbital launch possible?
Heh - but what do you use to keep a 100 mile cable up? A 100 mile orbit is going to be pretty fast - it certainly isn't geostationary :-)

Have a look at physics.stackexchange.com/questions/26739/… for some useful information.

See the space elevator if you want a possible (nearly) solution to get to geostationary orbit (or twice that far-using matching earth to hub and hub to outer orbit cables)
