#stall #angleofattack #aviation #learntofly

A quick video showing what Angle of Attack (AOA) is in conjunction with the chord line of a wing and the relative wind. Animations show when critical angle of attack is exceeded and when a stall occurs.

In the video I said a stall occurs when critical angle of attack is met. A stall occurs when the critical angle of attack is EXCEEDED. A can also occur at any airspeed, attitude, configuration, power setting, or weight.

This and many other videos covering airplane basics are on the channel and more on the way.

You will stall when you reach the critical angle of attack? Or when you go past it?

Interestingly an aircraft has only one stall AOA an less know to pilots only one stall stick position.
