I mean, in straight and level flight, the wing may be at say 12 AOA at 50kts
Flying faster at 140kts, still in S&L, the wing will be at less, maybe 2 AOA.
Would be interesting to see a graph of that.

I would imagine that there would be a big difference from the stall speed to cruise speed, but a very small change in AOA from cruise to VNE.
