The Bernoulli effect only contributes to making wings more efficient. It isn’t fundamentally why lift occurs.

You can make almost anything fly if you have enough power and a tail. But how efficient will it be? Not as efficient as an airfoil that takes advantage of all the fluid motion properties.

I think you wanted to respond to the parent comment. My questions have been a lead to debunk myth that the major contributor to the lift is the Bernoulli effect.
