OK, flow never completely attached, I get that. any guesses on how far back it may separate for a generic type airliner wing at max CL aoa?

I'm just thinking, if it was say at approximately the 3/4 chord point, ie 3/4 the way back approximately, that would mean the wing was getting it's max CL value with the air only attached for 3/4 of the area or so. That would be an interesting thought to me.

Maybe that 3/4 is too far forward. But is separation at 99% chord too far back for the max CL point?
