A plane stalls when the wing stops producing enough lift to support the aircraft’s weight. This doesn’t mean the engine stops—it’s an aerodynamic phenomenon. The key factors are: 1. Angle of Attack (AoA) – The stall occurs when the wing’s angle relative to the oncoming air exceeds the critical angle (usually around 15°–20° for most planes). Beyond this angle, airflow separates from the wing, and lift drops sharply. 2. Airspeed – If the plane flies too slowly for its current configuration (flaps,

Ever wonder what happens when an airplane stalls? This video is a perfect example!Stalls aren't about the engine, they're about the airflow. These yarn strings show smooth, attached airflow over the wing. As angle of attack increases, the airflow separates, lift decreases, and a stall occurs.📹: pilotmakers

Steller Sphere on Instagram: "Airflow around an airplane wing creates lift as air speeds up over the curved top, lowering pressure (Bernoulli's Principle), while slower, higher-pressure air moves underneath; this pressure difference pushes the wing up. Simultaneously, the wing deflects air downward (Newton's Third Law), generating an equal and opposite upward force (lift). This smooth, fast-moving flow over the top, called the boundary layer, can become turbulent and separate if the wing's angle
