What Is Bernoulli’s Principle? A Simple Guide for Pilots

Airfoils use this principle, with faster airflow over the top creating lower pressure. As the airflow approaches the wing, the flow splits above and below the leading edge. Wing Camber Wing camber defines how much more curved the wings upper surface is compared to the lower surface. What Affects Flow Turning?

They are designed with a special shape called an airfoil, which encourages passing air to turn and deflect downward. One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. High camber generally promotes more airflow deflection, thanks to something called Bernoullis Principle.
