Hello,
the question's in the title really, but in the off chance we have some people who work with U-2s around here, does anyone know what its stall alpha is, even roughly. You often see, in landing videos, that the aircraft drops to the ground, as if it has reached critical AoA, at a fairly low attitude, but equally, its approach speed it so low that a fairly low attiude could equate to a high alpha. Anyway, I'd really appreciate a response, from either someone who works with U-2s, or is just in the know.
Thanks a lot,
Charlie
