As the velocity of the speed increases, the static pressure drops, with a decrease in its [[potential energy]]. |

But the most contributing factor for the lift would be due to Newtonian forces acting on it. However, there is a misconception in using the Bernoulli's principle in incorrect lift theories like the equal transit time theory.<ref>https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/wrong1.html</ref> |
