BTW, a wing doesn't work through the Bernoulli effect. That's a myth perpetuated by grade school textbooks and even pilot training. The pressure difference between the top and bottom of a wing travelling perpendicular to its plane is very low, if it exists at all. A wing develops lift by being positioned at an angle to the flow.
