wait does stall angle change or not
Exam question
The aircraft stalling speed will
- A.increase with an increase in weightCorrect
- B.be unaffected by aircraft weight changes since it is dependant upon the angle of attack
- C.only change if the MTMA were changed
Explanation
With an increase in aircraft weight, the aircraft must fly with a greater angle of attack. Therefore it will stall at a higher speed.

so i just did a question that said heavier aircraft = higher stall speed which ok makes sense, but then in the same practice set another question says stall ANGLE stays the same no matter what. so which is it, if the plane stalls at a different speed how is it stalling at the same angle every time. someone explain like im dumb lol
