Lift is caused by changing the velocity (speed or direction) of a fluid (turning the air). If lift was cause by differences between the distance of the upper and lower surfaces, how do hang gliders fly? Or paper planes (and missiles) with flat wings, or aerobatic aircraft and helicopters which use symmetrical aerofoils, or airliners which use wings that are flatter on top and more curved on the bottom?

@RodneyEkrano Bernoulli's principle and the equal transit-time fallacy are not the same thing.

I don't know that radishes stall.

@bubuteishvili Basically lose lift and the aircraft pretty much falls down, or stalls

[bubuteishvili]

what stall means???

Bernoulli is actually not a good explanation to lift, too simplistic. Lift is actually because of kutta jukowski principles, downswash and circulation of the air.

@scotlandtube82 I was thinking the same *lick*!

[RodneyEkrano]

bernoulli theorxy on the wing AKA "equal transit time theory" has been proven wrong 25 years ago.

you're kinda cute!
