https://dontvis.it/https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explain-why-planes-stay-in-the-air/ :
'Air molecules flowing atop a wing do not behave like that, but Bernoulli’s theorem does not say why not. '
'Although it is a fact of experience that air moves faster across a curved surface, Bernoulli’s theorem alone does not explain why this is so. '
'This means that Bernoulli’s theorem alone is insufficient to explain these facts. '
'Nevertheless, there are several reasons that Bernoulli’s theorem does not by itself constitute a complete explanation of lift. '
'In other words, the theorem does not say how the higher velocity above the wing came about to begin with. '
