Answer: Short Answer: NO ( In Most Cases)

Step-by-step explanation:

If that were true then planes couldn't get off the ground to fly. The front of the wing is cutting/pushing the air. On the top of the wing the air moves faster and on the bottom it moves slower making a upward draft giving the object the ability to fly or glide.
