I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.
The science textbook deep state has been trying to teach you for Decades that air flows faster over the top of an airplane wing because the path over the top is longer, and that generates lower pressure, and therefore lift. It’s always been nonsense! Airplane wings generate lift by directly, unambiguously pushing air down, by being angled relative to the incoming air stream (called an angle of attack). This is why completely flat wings on balsa wood gliders and paper airplanes function perfectly well.
Bernoulli has nothing to do with it!
The claim I see here is not that the Bernoulli effect isn’t the primary source of lift, but that it isn’t involved at all. They double down later saying that airfoils are used over flat wings exclusively to combat turbulence.
And my claim was simply that there has been some debate on the topic among experts, because there has.
