Default Stalls - Angle of Attack versus Vstall

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. On the same token, you can stall
the airplane at higher or lower airspeeds depending on the aircraft
weight.


Minor nit:

Replace "some negative g's" with "less than 1g". Or "between -1 and +1 g",
if you want to get really particular.


You are right. It is not negative g, but less than plus one g.
