I was not a physics major by any means, but I think I can explain this one.
Think of the equation PV=nRT (horrible memories for most of us).
Burnulli's principle, in laymen's terms, is that fast things suck. Fast moving air creates an area of low pressure. Everything else being constant, the lower pressure means that the temperature also lowers to keep the equation balanced. So essentially, it works the same as blowing out a candle or blowing on a hot cup of coffee. Because the air is moving quickly, it cools down the plane, sometimes enough to blow out an engine fire. It's still a valid EP for small aircraft like Cessnas.
