Well Mr Bernoulli -

What rule of physics, mathematics, or horticulture states that two air molecules which seperate at the leading edge of a wing, ever meet up again in the future?
I am no Mr Bernoulli, but the "equal transit time" principle has been shown to be incorrect in most cases. See the third link in deHavillandDave's post of 30 December.
