stall

any object..even if it is a paper chucked it swings up and slows down... and stalls into the new direction.. and same reverses.. kinda.. a falling leaf.. or a kite.. falling out of the skies..

on a serious note.. the swept back wing planforms at higher wing loading angles..
these could be straight and level, turning paths, climbs or descends, if the angle of attack increases beyond the stalling angle, the CP shifts forward giving a pitch up nose tendency..co the effect.. on your type of aircraft..

conversely on a dihedral, conventional, supercritical wingplanform in a straight and level flight, if we maintain the thrust/ power settings, as we wash off speed, the point at which you cannot maintain height even if you increase angle of attack ids the point of stall.. ie; the question and its answer.

cheers
