Lift

I wrote a couple of interesting articles for Associated Content that were helpful. The amount of disagreement on this topic is surprising. The shape of the wing and pressure differences are of course important (Bernoulli), but I don't think an aircraft would ever take off without the downward deflection of air via AOA of the aircraft and control surfaces (Newton).
