And thinking about it a little more, from the standpoint of the
interface, you might have a significant Bernoulli effect (pressure
reduction proportional to 1/2 rho v^2). I'm not going to speculate too
much more on that, as figuring out the airflow around an intact
airframe is tricky... and around a damaged or disrupted airframe,
well, let the WAG's fly.
