Stalling - don't think speed, think angle of attack.
Speed has nothing to do with stalling. A of A has everything to do with stalling.
You can fly an aeroplane at zero knots without stalling it, and you can stall the same aeroplane a few seconds later at 130 knots indicated. So what's the stall speed?
Any wing will ALWAYS stall if the A of A reaches the stalling angle - which never varies, regardless of speed, weight, or anything else (unless you change the wing's configuation with flaps, slats etc in which case it will always stall at the new stalling angle, regardless of speed, weight etc).
If this thread won't die, let's at least give it a change of direction).

Yes, it’s getting near the time for this thread to die, though I think that it will have a spinoff, (pun intended), which will perhaps be more purposeful.
If you wish, look for a new thread entitled “Not approved?”
