Why is Bernoulli’s Principle Important to Aerodynamics?

Bernoulli’s Principle acts as the building blocks for all aerodynamics. Bernoulli’s Principle is the law, discovered by Daniel Bernoulli an eighteenth-century Swiss scientist, that the as velocity of a fluid (including air) increases, its pressure decreases. How an airplane flies can be explained by this principal. Keep in mind: “When a fluid increases its speed it reduces its pressure.” (MacDonald, 2000)
As seen in the diagram due to the shape of the wing the air over the wing has a further distance to travel to get to the back of the wing thus it must increase its speed to get to the back of the wing and by doing so reduces the downward pressure on the top of the wing, creating lift.
