Comment on Lift vs. angle of attackparent

Comments

One of the requirements for Bernoulli's Principle to be valid is that the flow cannot be in a boundary layer. This alone explains why you cannot use it to fully explain lift since you are analyzing flow near a surface.

And of course it doesn't explain how planes with symmetrical wings fly.
