>what bernoulli’s principles is

Air moving faster has lower pressure; air moving slower has higher pressure.

>and how it works for aviation

Airplanes are designed to create a faster flow of air on the top side of the wings, and a slower flow of air on the bottom side of the wings. This create higher pressure *under* the wing, and lower pressure *above* the wing…which ends up shoving the wings upwards.
