1940s

*| quote = If the air mass travels a greater distance in the same time it must move faster in order to reach the trailing edge of the wing in time to prevent a vacuum.
*| quote = If two air particles starting at A are to meet again at C—and they DO meet again at the trailing edge—the particle travelling the upper ABC route must travel FASTER to reach C at the same time that a particle travelling the shorter ADC route does.
*| quote = When two sections of air flow around a wing, they meet again at the wing's trailing edge at the same time…
*| quote = … giving the air that goes over the wing's top a greater distance to travel. And since that body of air has farther to go in the same length of time, …
*| quote = Moreover, the air passing over the top has covered the increased distance in the same time as the air covering the shorter distance beneath the wing.
*| quote = The difference between that and the well-nigh straight line of the under surface isn't great, but it is enough … as the two flows must meet at the rear edge of the wing at the same time.
*| quote = but the air that flows over the wing must do so in the same time that is taken by the air that flows under the wing.

1930s

*| quote = … the fact that the air passing over the the hump on the top of the wing will have to speed up more than that flowing beneath the wing, in order to arrive at the trailing edge in the same time.
