Hope this helps.
Oh i see. So if it's still positive lift, what is exactly is the purpose of the upward deflecting aileron if it isn't to produce negative lift(chord line angled downwards)? And why does lower wing produce positive lift even if aileron is deflected upwards? Is it because of the AoI?
Thx
