Thanks for all that information. very interesting and very informative.
As an addendum to your comment about New Bloke's photo link: it might not show vortex bursting, but it does nicely show the leading edge vortex detaching from the leading edge pretty close to the wing root. Maybe this was what they were trying to say, but ended up using the wrong terminology?
Obviously not as dramatic an effect on lift either, but it would still reduce the vortex lift below the theoretical maximum. I wonder if this behaviour was considered a problem in the HP 115 design and whether it was improved upon when it came to the design for concorde's wings?
