Yes that is essentially what the article said, but the title (OP didn't write the title, btw) made it sound like we have no understanding of the mechanics of flight at all. We have a great deal of understanding on how lift, drag, aerodynamics and fluid dynamics pertaining to flight works but we lack a 100% mathematical model for it. I took offence to the title because of that fact. It was just too sensational for what the contents actually said.
