Bernoulli's Principle Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss scientist, stated that fast moving air results in lower pressure than slow moving air. Which means high pressure air always moves towards a lower pressure area. The force of the moving air is called lift. If this principle had not been discovered, airplanes may not even be here. Lift, pushing up on an airplane's wing, is the way airplanes stay in the air. The shortest distance between two points …
