How is lift created?

     The wings have high pressure air underneath and low pressure air above the wing.  That , in a nutshell creates lift.  Where these two forces come together at the wing-tip, a circular vortex is created.  My configuration places the forward wing-tip directly in front of the ducted fans.  The idea being less required energy to achieve the same thrust.
