From Neil Speirs
Anderson seems to claim that Bernoulli effects contribute nothing to lift.
This could easily be tested. Does a humped wing with a flat bottom and zero
angle of attack provide any lift?
Anderson replies: Zero effective angle of attack is taken to be the angle
that gives zero lift. The orientation described by your reader has a positive
effective angle of attack and does have lift. The backside of the wing is sloped
down and so the air comes off the wing with downwash, producing lift.
