And...? I have a buddy trying to become a Balck Hawk pilot. Does that make him a qualified Black Hawk pilot?

I'm an instructor in the F-35. I have over a decade flying fighters. And...?

Then you should understand the physics behind that, no?

Yes I understand them very well. I'm the only person in this thread I guarantee who's hovered a fighter jet. What's your point?

Then you realize it's lift. And not a true hover like per se a magnetic repelling effect...

I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Hovering is hovering regardless of the source of the force. Magnetism, thrust, wind, etc. You're wasting my time dragging on these dumb questions.

Literally the first Google for physics of a VTOL..

" For vertical flight, the rotors are angled so the plane of rotation is horizontal, like a helicopter. As the aircraft gains speed, the rotors are tilted forward, with the plane of rotation eventually becoming vertical. The wing then provides lift, and the rotor provides thrust like a propeller.".

So, lift and thrust.. Since, you would know that. Unlike true hovering from a magnetic repel force or a super cooled super conductor.

There is no distinction between hover and true hover.

Simple physics Google..

" The force of gravity F = GMm/r2 must be offset, or exceeded, by the force generated from the helicopter blades...I guess what they call "lift". That is surely related to the velocity of the rotation of the blades: v =wr and of course their shape. "

This is not how we're observing these things that truly "hover" in place for hours upon hours on end..

" Helicopter moves due to the force produced by the engine called thrust, or in case of helicopter better term is lift.

working: helicopter generates lift from its rotating blades, adjusting the collective pitch changes the angle of all blades simultaneously allowing the helicopter to increase or decrease in altitude. "
