As
Attitude increases so does
AOA while Airspeed decreases.....
Lesson 5, Stalling......
And considering you fly a pitts, one would think you were a gun on the Aeros mate, you should know better than that!
i never was able to explain a barrell roll without using my hands....
so tell me what happens to aoa for a reduction in airspeed with the same nose attitude? surely if airspeed decays sufficiently with the nose attitude remaining constant, aoa will increase to such an angle that the wing will stall? i always thought that aoa was relative to freestream velocity, therefore reduce freestream velocity, maintain attitude, increase alpha.
