The curve on the top of the wing increases the distance that the air has to travel to reach the back of the wing. Since the air molecules on top and the ones on the bottom reach the end of the wing at the same time, the equation of V=d/t shows that velocity increases.

Top of an aerofoil has a larger surface area.. when air passes over it.. there is a drop in pressure of the air.. this results in higher speed of the air.

Because it has further to go than the air on the bottom in the same time.
