How does an airplane fly?

An airfoil is:
Bernoulli's principal:
The four fundamentals of flight:
Aerodynamics:
Lift is one of the four forces that :
Lift =
The amount of lift generated by an airfoil is a function of:
Air molecules move most rapidly over the:
Newton's Third Law:
Bernoulli and Newton on creating lift:
The lift coefficient:
Angle of incidence:
Elements of the coefficient of lift:
Angle of attack:
Relative wind:
Two kinds of lift developments:
Camber is:
Cord line is:
The leading edge of a wing is:
Trailing edge is:
Flight path:
