Yes, thank you for altering the diagram, the bearings help me see that for every action there is an equal reaction. You were taking reaction, I was talking action.................we are now on the same page.
Think about the parasitic drag on boat hulls, air does much of the same, it may not push as you want/think.

Parasitic drag (also called skin friction drag) is drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid medium (in the case of aerodynamics, more specifically, a gaseous medium). Parasitic drag is made up of many components, the most prominent being form drag. Skin friction and interference drag are also major components of parasitic drag.
