A great but completely wrong explanations of how a wing works is: The cuved shape of the wing means air has to move a longer distance over the top of the wing to connect back together with the air moving under it. So since it’s moving faster it has a lower pressure and the pressure difference between the bottom and top leads to the upwards force we call lift. It sounds like a great eli5, and it gets repeated in serious educational contexts again and again but it’s just absolutely completely wrong.
