| Have you heard of Bernoulli's Principle? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Of course, he's the principal at my school, duh... | |
 | |  |
|

|
 | |  |
| Not that kind of principal! Bernoulli's Principle is the principle that allows wings to produce lift and planes and helicopters to fly. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Oh! I learned about this in class. As a wing passes through the air, its shape makes the air travel over the top of the wing rather than beneath it. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Exactly! This creates more pressure beneath the wing than above it. The pressure difference causes the wing to push upwards and lift is created. | |

| Something tells me there's more to it... | |
