* Momentum drag is very large effect, pressure recovery less

..... Also spill-doors for excess mass-flow (surge conditions) can/have been incorporated, sometimes the two combined possibly
I suspect that with very high bypass inlets that the drag increase of a surge condition at early climb power could result in very high drag conditions on one side for several seconds coupled with the loss of thrust. Then again the inlet spillage effect would wash over the wing surfaces hopefully with not the same detrimental effect as an inflight reverser deployment.
