Reverse what you just said
Except the looking odd bit. That suits helicopters!
One question.
How can you reference critical angle of attack to the aircraft AoA if you are changing the wing AoA with flaps and slats?
The wing angle of attack has already been increased by flaps whilst you can maintain the same pitch (your aircraft AoA). The stalling angle of attack of the wing is actually slightly less with flaps extended. And you will, therefore, stall the wing at a lower
aircraft AoA/pitch than you would in a clean configuration.
So, whilst I understand the definition that you're using, to me that would appear to by less than clever.
