This was one of the weirdest parts of the engineering course.

There's so many wrong explanations of why planes fly, and we went through them.

It's not equal-time-to-the-end-of-the-wing, and it's not pushes-flow-down-so-goes-up.

It's a good time to do some critical thinking, though:

1) We observe that planes can fly upside down. Does the theory under evaluation explain this?

2) It's hard to take off behind another plane that's just taken off. Why?
