Cause if you know what addition air across the wings does for an aircraft,
than you will also realize that stalling an aircraft into the wind will

take
a moment longer. I was taught that when I got my license, and really
learned it with a DC-8 and furthermore in an L-1011. It doesn't change

the
stall speed as indicated.


He's right, you know... And I'll bet you doubting Thomases aren't aware
aircraft in the northern hemisphere only spin clockwise. It's called the
coribolis affect.
