Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), demonstrated that, in most cases, the pressure in a liquid or gas decreases as the liquid or gas moves faster. This explains in part why a wing lifts an airplane.

This shape of the wing is known as an airfoil, creating pressure above and under it, so it could lift the airplane off the ground. According to Bernoulli's principle, it produces lift and makes ...

It involves something known as 'Bernoulli's principle', which is worth further discussion. Bernoulli's principle is a description of how gases and liquids (fluids) behave. It says that within a ...
