An aircraft stall
results from a rapid decrease in lift caused
by the separation of airflow from the wing’s
surface brought on by exceeding the critical
AOA. A stall can occur at any pitch attitude
or airspeed. Stalls are one of the most misunderstood
areas of aerodynamics because pilots often believe
an airfoil stops producing lift when it stalls.
In a stall, the wing does not totally stop producing
lift. Rather, it cannot generate adequate lift
to sustain level flight.
