Lift is the aerodynamic/hydrodynamic force on a body moving through a fluid that opposes the force of gravity. DO NOT USE THIS TAG for elevators. For aerostatic/hydrostatic lift in fluidstatics use the [buoyancy] tag instead. For EM forces use the [levitation] tag instead.

Is it possible to statically generate lift with the difference in pressure like wings?

that there are pressure effects caused by the change in effective cross-section area of the various airflows, and these do affect the wing's ability to exert that downward force, but by and large the lift
