I was thinking about what the effort would be to pull a person in from an airplane window at 35,000 feet.
There are two main forces. Ambient pressure differential from the altitude, and the generated pressure differential from the airspeed.
The ambient pressure differential sounds low, at approximately 8 psi (half an atmosphere of pressure - estimated). With a window size of approximately 9 x 12, that is over 100 square inches... producing a total of 800 lbs of pressure.
To pull a stuck person out of an airplane window, you need to exert a force of at lest 800 lbs.
But it gets worse..
The speed of aircraft creates an additional pressure differential... exactly how the airplane's wings work... the force that is holding hundreds of people up in the air, along with the tons of aircraft weight itself, is all generated via lift produced by air simply moving over the top of the wing.
If you ever were in a fast moving car with the window open, I am sure you have experienced something getting sucked out by the pressure.
on top of that... the "wetted area" of the body itself... the part of the body that is being hit by oncoming wind. That produces additional force against pulling a body in.
It sounds to me that it takes at least half a ton (1000 or so lbs) of force to pull someone in. Even if two very strong people are able to pull that off (no pun intended)... some parts of that body are not going to still be attached.
The bernoulli effect is NOT how wings work. Aircraft wings work by deflecting air downwards. This causes lift by plain old Newtonian equal and opposite reaction.
It's perfectly possible to build a wing that has a symmetrical cross-section. These work just fine and provide lift for any non-zero angle of attack.
But don't take my word for it -
NASA has a detailed explanation online, which is needed because this error is so widely believed. I was taught it at school; I expect you were too.
But then, my physics teacher also claimed that there was no such thing as centrifugal force.

Ya, I was not only taught it in school while earning my degree in Aeronautical Engineering (with minor in Intermodal Transportation and Airport Management), but was required to design airfoils that solve specific problems. So I have used it in practice as well. I never heard of your "flat atmosphere" theory before... funny.
I suppose sailboats only move because of the air pushing directly against their sails too... meaning no one has ever or could possibly move a sailboat in any direction other than within 180 degrees of the direction of the wind.
What you are talking about is called "deflection". It has almost no effect during laminar flow. Turbulent flow of air over an airfoil will deflect more, but the exponential increase in drag due to failure of the laminar effect will stall the airfoil instantly.
Try it yourself... make or buy a cheap kit glider. Replace the wings with a slab of cardboard. Try throwing the glider a few times with the proper wings versus the flat regular piece of cardboard.
What you will find is that the proper airfoil will cause the plane to glide straight. The flat piece of cardboard will cause the plane to either pitch wildly up and then dive into the ground, or just dive straight into the ground, depending on where the center of gravity is.. normally that would be the center of lift, but if we are not generating lift (at least, not much) then it is all about center of gravity.
The Earth is more likely flat than airplanes don't really fly. I've built airplanes, I've flown airplanes.. but I never have personally been in space... so... flat earth possibly, Bilby's theory - no possibility..
