Not trying to start anything.

But Bernoulli predates the Wright brothers by about two hundred years? Kind of settled science.

So you are suggesting that the Wright bros were unfamiliar with Bernoulli’s principle?

Maybe they clammed up for fear of Bernoulli’s descendants and a lawsuit?

Bernoulli's principle is only a very small part of what it takes to build a working flying machine.

Read you’re history. They did not fathom that it was a pressure differential causing flight. They thought the angle of the wing was more important. They got lucky. Google around about the advancement of the wing and flight theory.
