Stalling + Spinning

Question 1

Stall

Answer 1

Is a condition of flight which the AoA of the wings exceeds its critical / stalling angle

Question 2

Airflow around a stalled wing

Answer 2

When a wing is taken beyond stalling angle the airflow breaks away from the upper surface and as a result there is a large reduction in lift

Question 3

Basic stall speed

Answer 3

Is the IAS at which an a/c reaches its stall angle in straight and level flight while in the clean + power off config

Question 4

Relationship between the basic stall speed and the lift formula
