Cool

I hope you are not a licenced pilot, rapid!
,
I am not a pilot, i just hold a pilot license

Stall isn't rally a speed, it an AoA. But for an given configuration and weight etc the stall AoA will be reached at a particular indicated airspeed (the point at which the airflow breaks away from the wing's surface). This IAS is always the same, though it can occur at vastly different TASs.
lets better stop here, i bet we both do not want to find ourselves discussing the solutions of Navier Stokes equations of the boundary layer under this topic, stall is said to be independent of speed but i have always wondered how Reynolds Number affects the max AoA if this is true

I am sure that i Have never spelled the word stall here in this threat before
