Generally speaking and contrary to popular belief‚ airplanes don’t float on the air‚ they’re sucked up into it. This reason is known as Bernoulli’s Principle. It says: "...as air travels faster [than surrounding air] across a surface‚ the air pressure against it is reduced...". By curving the top of an airplane’s
