That's it! And as cfg83 has depicted,you've got options on how to get there.
If you push all the way out to the curve,you'll create the locked vortex above the foil which the outer flow will glance off.
You pay a little penalty for the flow circulation within the vortex,but net out on the positive side as far as drag is concerned.
