Popis:	Accretion disks around some white dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables are thought to tilt around the line of nodes by the lift force acting at the disk's center of pressure. We investigate whether protoplanetary disks can also experience disk tilt. We find that lift may be possible by an asymmetric, net uni-directional, in-falling gas/dust stream overflowing a bluff body (e.g., Class I sources) or inner annuli of young Class II sources if gas/dust is still in-falling and the aspect ratio and disk surface area are large enough. However, inner disks of Class II sources LkCa 15, UX Tau A, and Rox 44 are not large enough, and therefore disk tilt is not likely.
