Unfortunately, it does not.

I have heard answers to this airplane problem from physics professors, pilots, freaking NASA rocket engineers....fact is, no degree will help you answer this question. It's a simple question of a person's intelligence and ability to reason...not how many hours they spent in the classroom.

It seems that the more educated people are, the longer their explanations as to why it will not fly...with freaking coefficients of lift and drag and force vectors and shit. Hell, I'm surprised no one threw the theory of relativity in there to prove why it will not fly. Of course they then stand firm by this idea...after all, they are the ones with the degree so they must be right.

If there was one thing I learned in college, getting my degree in mechanical engineering, is that a degree has nothing to do with intelligence. Nothing.

The plane will fly.
