Bernoulli's equation does not require that the fluid be
incompressible; [1]
what it requires is that the density along a
streamline be constant. [2]
This is why the equation can be used for
gases, such as air, so long as it is not being compressed along a
streamline. This is why the equation can be used for subsonic
flight, though not for supersonic flight.
