The decrease in pressure causing the "additional lift"?

Is the underwing increase due the "Ram"? The overwing decrease due the foreshortened vortices?

The difference you describe shows the clipped vortices as having a greater effect on the GE than the Ram as described, yes? I agree.....

Are you in substantial agreement that the increased pressure underwing is partially due the effect of the four-sided "box" described by the two tip vortices, the underwing, and the asphalt?

Dare I include the downwash as a "bottom" to the "effective" "barrel"?

From which I would infer a "trap"?
