Aerodynamics uses:
 Aircraft Aerodynamics is fairly simple. There are 4 extremely basic forces occurring on a plane.
Thrust:
The amount the plane is propelled forward. ie the engines pushing it forward
Drag:
The natural "drag" created by the planes weight. The force countering thrust. If thrust does not overpower drag the plane stops moving forward.
Gravity:
The Force pulling the plane back down to Earth. If Lift doesn't counter Gravity, the plane will either not take off, or crash and burn.
Lift:
Lift is the creation of a high and low air pressure below and above the wing (respectively).

Wing shape will effect the amount of air pressure on the wing. Usually the wind shape has a flat or ever so slightly curved bottom so that the air can get from beginning of wing to end of wing at same speed whereas the air flowing over the large curve at top of wing has to travel faster to rejoin the air going under the wing. This is the basics of why planes fly...etc
