Default Stalls - Angle of Attack versus Vstall

"Andrew Sarangan" wrote:


If the normal stall speed is 50 knots, you can make it stall at 100
knots if you pull some positive g's, or you can make it stall at 25
knots if you pull some negative g's.

Or less than .25 positive g's. I suspect that the stall speeds in
negative g flight are very different, at least with a usual asymmetric
airfoil.
