I find it hard to believe that the only factor important in computing aircraft lift is Bernoulli's principle.
Doesn't good old Newton's Second Law play an effect? In other words simply deflecting the airflow downwards.
Does anyone know the relative importance of these factors? (EG for a Jumbo which weighs say 333 metric tons. Area of wings 511 sq m according to Wolfram Alpha. I'm not sure what the slowest speed is a 747 can fly in level flight or the angle of the wings.)
