FINALLY someone explains the full details of how airplane wings generate lift, well done! There is no law of nature that tells air particles on the top of a wing that they need to arrive at the trailing edge at the same time as those traveling under the wing. In reality, the air on top often arrives sooner than the air on the bottom.
The curvrd upper surface and flat lower surface of a wing does not explain lift. It is the total flow pattern around the wing that is important, which in turn is determined by the fact that the flow leaves the trailing edge of the wing symmetrically. This is called the *Kutta* condition. *Stagnation lines* seperate what flows above and below the wing, not the wing shape.

Very nice explanation. Could you explain how acrobatic and fighter jets fly up side down.
Very interesting video took my very first flight mid July from Illinois to California was awesome
I always wondered! Thanks!
