They wouldn't fly graciously if they didn't I think.

They're flying by sheer brute force anyway...

I don't know much about aerodynamics, but I think the wings have 0 
sustainability by its shape, but its presence offer some by cutting 
through air, gives it direction and makes possible the curves it does, 
brute force mostly not sheerly I presume.

For me all of it is fascinating and beautiful. I save them and I'm using 
one as a wallpaper :-)

Yes, they tend to have a very steep glide path due to the flat/no airfoil.
They're really meant for flying by the prop and control surfaces rather than the
wing.  Foamies sure are fun to fly though.  The huge control surfaces mean
they're practically swimming if they aren't too heavy.  Seeing those VPP foamies
is making me want one now!

It's called "snakes on a plane"! That kinda tells you everything you 
need to know...
