The top surface of a wing is curved, the bottom is more flat. When the wing cuts through the air, the air must travel along the top surface faster than the bottom surface, in order to maintain equal distribution. Nature likes equal distribution. Due to shape of the wing, the air is able to do this without creating a vacuum. But- The faster-travelling air above the wing has lower pressure, and therefore the air underneath the wing can push up, creating lift. P.S. I could be wrong, or have omitted crucial physics/aeronautics terms.
