Say we have an aircraft that has a dihedral outboard on the wing. The inboard section thus has no dihedral and the outboard sections on both the left and right wings are parallel to each other. Say there is a full length flap connecting these two inboard sections runs under the fuselage.

Here's a picture of a lift profile.

The part of the continuous flap under the wing would increase lift while also increasing drag. But how does the part of the continuous flap that runs udner the fuselage affect the lift profile and drag? How would it affect the lift profile and the drag?
