Which is why one can stall at 140 kts and not stall at zero kts in the same aeroplane.
I'm really intrigued by the second part...is this a "trick" answer...IE it's not stalled atzero airspeed, simply because there's no airflow to start any lift?

Ihave, ingrained in my memory, a report of a Spitfire at an airshow ,which pancaked into the ground at the bottom of a loop. Plane was going "full bore" but the pilot had started too low andthe nose-high pancake ensued......a classic HIGH SPEED STALL
