• Also known as Bernoulli’s principle

Can humans fly? Yes, but only with the aid of aviation-inspired engineering, i.e. with aeroplane* (or a helicopter, hot air balloon ).

However, where did the inspiration come from? Often humans take inspiration from nature itself.
In the case of flying, we took inspiration from birds. Essentially, yes, an aeroplane’s wing is based on a bird's wing.

How does it work?

A top down view of an aeroplane essentially looks like this, very similar to an eagle's wing which is shown alongside it.

If we were to take one of the wings and cut along a midpoint like so:

If we were to look at the cut intersection of a wing we get what is known as an aerofoil* shape:

As wind or airflow passes from the wide end towards the narrow end,
the air pressure above the wing becomes lower than the air pressure below the wing.
This causes the wing to lift due to a concept known as diffusion
where high pressure gas will naturally move to areas of low pressure.
This is how wind works

This concept where this effect is applied to an aerofoil wing shape is known as
The Beroulli Effect or Bernoulli's principle, created by Daniel_Bernoulli

Given the difference between a scientist and an engineer,
Bernoulli in this case was the scientist that discovered the effects of pressure in terms of fluid dynamics,
and related them into mathematical equations, that our engineers at say Boeing now use to relate into creating an aeroplane wing.

The concept of the aerofoil wing shape is also used in propeller blades, and upside down on tail boards on a car
