Why does the lift coefficient increase at negative enough angles of attack? I asked my professor, and he said he'd never really thought about it before. I'm guessing it's flow separation on the bottom of the wing, so like a stall in reverse?

Anyone got any idea?

Yes. Just think of a symmetrical airfoil; the effect of stall will be the same in the positive and negative case. Assymetrical airfoils are a bit different but you get the idea.

I have literally never seen that behavior before. Maybe flow separation? You have seriously got me thinking.

Feels good to know my freshman question isn't actually that freshman after all. As soon as I know what I'm doing, I'm gonna check this out for myself.

Fucking kek, the guy who replied to you is one of two things.
1. A freshman in engineering
2. A highschool drop out
