Got an aerodynamic theory question for you.
What happens to the centre of pressure, or more correctly, the total reactions of lift force with an increase in AoA?
My old PPL theory books say it moves forwards but I am doing some further reading and I'm finding some texts that say in modern aerofoils the centre of pressure does not move until the critical angle when it then moves back.
