Both Newton and Bernoulli are correct. Even inside a pipe

Can't escape that at all.


Also, if you don't mind, I would like to understand what you mean
here.


It's not clear to me.


Couldn't be clearer and it's really all you need to know.

Go out and fly now. If you ask any more questions I'l just hand you
over to Anthony from now on.


I don't think actually flying an airplane will explain the
aerodynamics of lift any more than driving a car will help with
understanding of rack-and-pinion.


Well, then you're a lost cause.

Ask Anthony and be damned, then
