In this episode of Propeller Breeze, we break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in aviation: aircraft stalls. What really happens when a wing stalls? Is it true that lift just disappears? Spoiler: not quite.
Join us as we explore:
What causes a stall and why it's all about exceeding the critical Angle of Attack
Common myths vs. aerodynamic reality
How aircraft are designed to stall safely—and recover smoothly
Why center of gravity matters more than you think during stall recovery
How stalls can happen even at high speeds or in turns
The serious impact of icing on airfoil performance and stall behavior
Whether you’re a student pilot, sim enthusiast, or aviation geek, this episode will give you a solid understanding of how and why stalls occur—and what keeps aircraft safe when they do.
