Thanks again for a great pics and great explanation.

I'm was wondering that, according to the manual and some document said
that the vortex lift start to form on wing tip first. Why's that happened?
Why not the root of the wing first?
Is it cause by the local wing tip vortex push the air causing more upwash
and hence more effective AoA causing it to reach the stall AoA first is that right?

Also, does the wing vortex on the Concorde has an influence or the effect on
the rudder?

Thanks for your reply.

Best regards
