Forced by limiting the space through which the fluid must flow. Think of
your garden hose. If you put your thumb over the end and constrict the
space the water flows faster through the opening. As the speed increases
the pressure decreases, air moves from high pressure to low pressure and
the wing of the airplane is in the way of this movement so it is lifted up
with the high pressure air.



Garden hose + thumb:
"As the speed increases the pressure decreases..." part throws me. As the
flow increase?

C'mon over here and explain it again please. Yes, yes. Of course I'll keep
the hose kinked --- almost in range. hehehe
