The present treatment of the inviscid flow past an ellipse via the numerical solution of the Euler equations yields a lifting solution for any combination of grid and/or angle of attack which is nonsymmetric, in order to illustrate the CFD challenge posed by this unusual flow behavior. The results obtained call into question the general capability and validity of numerical Euler results in the realm of conventional difference methods; specifically, the mechanism generating lifting results is not understood, and the problem's resolution is not yet in sight.
