A closer look
Physics starts to feel like a poorly written suggestion when you look closely at commercial aviation. A fully loaded Boeing 747 weighs almost a million pounds, yet it routinely rips through the clouds using the Bernoulli principle and raw thrust. The sheer density of the aircraft implies it should instantly plummet, but the engines generate enough forward momentum to create low pressure over the wings, aggressively sucking the massive metal beast into the sky. It is pure, mathematically-sanctioned brute force.
