Claim 15:
16. A method, comprising:
accelerating airflow, via an airflow generator comprised in a lift nacelle, in a nacelle interior space at least partially defined by a sidewall system of the lift nacelle;
directing, via the sidewall system, the airflow in the nacelle interior space to contact a lift body comprising an internal rotor;
rotating the internal rotor;
causing, via the lift body, a bottom airflow proximate a bottom portion of the lift body, opposite a top portion of the lift body, to have a bottom air pressure greater than a top air pressure of a top airflow proximate the top portion of the lift body, in response to the rotating the internal rotor and the airflow contacting the lift body; and
creating a lift force on the lift nacelle in response to the bottom air pressure being greater than the top air pressure.
