When I thought there was higher pressure under the wing that pushed the plane up, I was happy. When I started thinking, instead, about little vacuum vortices above the wings pulling them up instead, I was suddenly much less comfortable with the whole proposition. Given the options and the limited effect on my daily life, I’m gotta go with Newton over Bernoulli on this one.
We know vacuums don’t “pull” things. Instead it’s air pressure elsewhere that isn’t balanced by the vacuum that moves things in the direction of the vacuum.
