NASA doesn't agree with you.

Not knowing what your qualifications are I'll favor NASA's explanation
of a combination of Newtonian / Bernoulli as described in part by
Euler's equations, the idea being that the airfoil turns the airflow to
generate lift. NASA's done a lot of experiments & measurements and have
a long publication history dating back to the NACA days let alone an
astonishing track record in flying high and low performance aircraft.

I don't think there's any single person out there that can beat the
combined knowledge of NASA's decades of experience.

NASA doesn't say or even imply that Bernoulli and Newton COMBINE to
create lift because they don't combine to create a total. Each is a
complete explanation and can stand alone one without the other, which
BTW is exactly what NASA says.


Yep
