The ratio is even more skewed in a slender body, where half of the deflection happens right at the nose. Now you might think that you only need to cut those 75% off and still have half the lift, but no, that rear part enables the forward part to contribute so much more. Cut some of it off and you will lose lift in proportion to that. | |
