What aspect of the airplane did Bernoulli's principle influence?
The wing
The propeller
The tail
The fuselage
Answer
Bernoulli's principle states that the faster a fluid flows, the lower its pressure. This principle is used in the design of airplane wings. The wing is shaped so that air flows faster over the top of the wing than it does under the wing. This creates a difference in pressure, which causes the wing to lift.
