Airplanes exploit a loophole in the physics of air pressure. It's a mundane sort of thing, compared to being IN a plane, but essentially, air gets bottlenecked trying to go around an airfoil (such as the wing of a plane) and more ends up being pushed up, into the wing from below, rather than flowing over it smoothly.
