Drastically Improving Aircraft Performance Using Acoustic Waves

Is it possible to send sound waves under an aircraft wing to thicken the air and allow an aircraft better buoyancy? Can we thicken the air around an aircraft and allow it to carry more weight, improve fuel economy and double the performance and ability to carry more useful loads? Some think it is possible and some believe that there are insects, which may use a similar strategy, by sending out vibrations of sound or sound waves to do just that. Is it possible? Should we test this theory?

One online think tank member believes so and wishes to do tests on insects to see how they do this. Either way the data learned can help us design cars that fly and are safe couldnt it. Because the opposite means we learn the Bugs strategies of flight and increase our efficiency by at least 50% meaning less fuel and better performance and more useful load. So, it is all good.

Think tanker Warren Powers thinking on insects states; I also imagine that, just as there is a natural frequency for every physical structure, there must also be one for every dynamic sound mountain structure. Finding this frequency should not prove difficult, nor should finding the amplitude, tests can be conducted to determine if this is possible or feasible.

Perhaps there is a lot to be learned from insect harmonics. My grandfather studied this stuff, lots of white papers on all types of waves; look them up; DK Winslow. If this is possible it leads to a whole new chapter in aerodynamics theory. If Warren is right on his theories on insects, then that means, we humans can use this strategy also. Consider all this in 2006.
