"It seems like you believe that the 'suction' created by that void on top of the wing is responsible for sucking the wing upwards."

I have said, There is no pull, only push. How then do you read me thinking the air "pulls"? You have said the low-pressure accelerates the air, that is "suction".

The paper dismisses Bernoulli as supporting acceleration causing low pressure. The paper supports low pressure causing acceleration. I believe both are incorrect. Acceleration is caused by high pressure at the leading edge escaping aft over the wing, as I see it.... In any case, the major portion of the high pressure migrates below the leading edge, into a wedge shaped RAM (remember RAM)? The angle of the wing deflects airflow down, causing uplift, and this downwash meets the upper streamline and is increased thereby...

I understand that I may be a hard read, it frustrates me also. There are some medical issues...

I cannot thank you enough for your patience.....
