WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PRESSURE PLOT?

Well, this starts to get subtle. The airfoil generates lift (about 990 pounds) and the plot shows a difference in the lines with the yellow on top - as expected.

But, the distribution of pressure, the shape of the plot is different than before. The big differences in the lines now occurs toward the center and back of the airfoil, before, the big differences occurred at the front.
