Bernoulli's principle

The fancy way:




For dummies: as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid decreases.


Even simpler: Velocity increases = pressure decreases



Its what make airplanes fly.

The air on the bottom maintains the same path and stays the same speed. The higher pressure on the bottom pushes the wing, and the plane, up.
