aeroplanes fly because of lift generated by pressure differences on

Airplanes fly because the wings divert the air through which they pass
downwards, creating a downwash and exerting a force in doing so that engenders
an opposite force that is lift.

... these pressure differences are caused by the shape
of the aerofoil of the wing ...

The air is diverted because the wing has a positve angle of attack. *It can be
perfectly flat and it will still generate lift.

downwash occurs after the wing has passed. how does it transmit its
effect to the wing? magnetism?

Sorta. *The girl lift fairies push from underneath whilst the boy lift
fairies pull from up top. *The obese lift fairies just hang on and
thus produce drag.- Hide quoted text -

No, there are no fat faries -fat faries would not be able to fly and
they would die. It's transvestite fairies that produce drag,
