| Apr 12, 2017 at 8:14 | comment | added | Peter Kämpf | @Crafterguy At higher angle of attack the suction peak on the upper side is higher, meaning more acceleration and, consequently, more deceleration, since the air needs to go back to ambient pressure eventually. The faster air inside the suction peak will experience more friction, frictional energy loss being proportional to speed. So in the deceleration phase the air will eventually not have enough momentum to still move forward when the pressure is increased back to ambient. That is essentially what the answer says already. | |

| Apr 9, 2017 at 0:43 | comment | added | Crafterguy | I do not see why no one is answering this question or at least commenting. If something is wrong with the question like it don't not show up correctly or something like that please tell me | |
