Venturi & Bernoulli

If you lower the inverted wing and keep the wing's speed constant, it needs to get rid of the air through a proportionally ever narrower opening.
[the wing's camber is getting ever more important compared to the remaining opening]

This can only happen by increasing the speed of the air even further beyond that of the vehicle, and further lowering its pressure.
This makes the wing more effective at the same vehicle speed.
