There is another mode that is related to the force of the air
impacting on the bottom of the wing at high AOA producing lift as
well. Think of your control surfaces. Your rudder control surface is
symmetric, yet it produces horizontial components of force. IIRC, the
Jeppesen books cover high AOA effects as well.

Isn't this the theory behind lifting bodies (aka, Space Shuttle) and why
many low wing planes tend to generate some minor amount of lift across the
fuslage area, in between the root coords?
