You may be interested to learn that wings do not stall because of the speed they are travelling through the air.

What makes them stall is if the angle of attack of the approaching air exceeds a certain angle which varies with the design of the wing and any leading or traing edge flap angles in use.

A wing's angle of attack is known in the trade as alpha.

Given your monika that is quite interesting.
