Lift
Storyboard
The flow around a wing leads to the formation of whirlpools that, depending on the shape and angle of the wing with respect to the flow, can cause whirlpools in a section of these. If volume elements around the wing are considered and it is assumed that energy conservation can be madly assumed, different speeds will have to lead to different pressures (Bernoulli) on the surface.
The sum of all pressures on the surface in the vertical direction, both on the wing (downward force) and under the wing (upward force) leads to a total force that we call lift. If this is positive we can overcome gravity and make the body (plane / bird) rise.
