Bernoulli's Principle states that where the speed of a fluid is fast, the pressure is low, and where the speed of a fluid is slow, the pressure is high. Airplanes use Bernoulli's Principle in lift. The top of an airplane wing is longer than the bottom. This causes molecules to move faster in order to stay together, creating an area of low pressure. Underneath the wing, the molecules move more slowly because there are more molecules in a smaller area- this creates an area of high pressure. Since air moves from high pressure to low pressure, the wings are forced upwards, creating lift.
