That pressure difference is due to the way that streams of air are forced to curve around the wing. Contrary to a common but wrong explanation of aeroplane wings [5], Bernoulli's principle doesn't ...

Swiss scientist, Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), demonstrated that, in most cases, the pressure in a liquid or gas decreases as the liquid or gas moves faster. This explains in part why a wing lifts ...

Bernoulli's equation along the streamline that begins far upstream of the tube and comes to rest in the mouth of the Pitot tube shows the Pitot tube measures the stagnation pressure in the flow.
