Bernoulli's Principle
Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss scientist, stated that fast moving air results in lower pressure than slow moving air. Which means high pressure air always moves towards a lower pressure area. The force of the moving air is called lift. If this principle had not been discovered, airplanes may not even be here.
Lift, pushing up on an airplane's wing, is the way airplanes stay in the air. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The bottom of the wing is flat, so the air can travel across there without having to speed up to get past the wing. The top of the wing is curved causing the air to speed up to pass because high pressure always moves toward low pressure.
