When oriented at a suitable angle, the foil deflects the oncoming fluid, resulting in a force on the foil in the direction opposite to the deflection.
When set at an angle ( the angle of attack ) to the flow the plate will deflect the fluid passing over and under it, and this deflection will result in a lift force on the plate.
