Mathematical description of how planes fly.

Can someone explain how planes fly? The newtonian and bernoullis model doesn't provide enough force to even lift a plane or describe how planes fly at different velocities and flying upside-down.

In a nutshell: plane flies really fast, because of the shape of the wing there's a pressure difference above the wing and bellow it, which generates lift, t. brainlet

That's not correct.

A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky. So it's the engines that move a plane forward, while the wings move it upward.

It’s more like the surface tension of water. Your plane, in given conditions, with a given trim, attitude, pitch, roll, yaw, speed, etc., finds the equilibrium point at which the air below the aircraft is too thick to move through, the air above too thin to support it.

(This is why we pilots love to get pedantic about how it’s your throttle, and never the elevators, that control altitude)
