I found the following website to be somewhat easy to understand and
extremely interesting, especially the last 1/2. The videos of lift and
pressure on a wing also good.

If that website is easy to understand, I'm stupid. *I'll spend more
time researching their topic, but from a quick scan it looks pretty
confusing.

Todd,
I was pretty confused by much of what was posted but started to get a
clue when I researched the whole Kutta Condition thing, which was from
your post. THAT made sense to me, and led to the site I referred to
which starts off disorganized but gets better I think, anyway it
worked for me so I posted it. Perhaps my sense of understanding is
just a more complex form of confusion. Anyway the movies of lift on an
airfoil at different airflow speeds are pretty.
