Airplanes soaring through the sky, defying gravity, is a fascinating sight for most of us. So how do airplanes really fly? How is the lift force that keeps an airplane in the air created? Most of us have learned in school or popular science resources that the air flowing over the wing of an airplane flows faster than the air flowing under it, and that airplanes rise due to the pressure difference according to Bernoulli's principle. However, the situation is not that simple in reality.
