How aerofoil shape work?

An aerofoil (or airfoil) shape is designed to create a difference in air pressure above and below the wing as it moves through the air. The top surface is typically curved, causing air to travel faster over it, which lowers the pressure according to Bernoulli's principle. Meanwhile, the bottom surface is flatter, resulting in higher pressure. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the aircraft to rise and maintain flight.
