Hi All,


Imagine a plane in 2 conditions.


1) Climbing with full power
2) Descending fast with 50% power.


Both have constant rates of ascent and descent.


Question A: Which wing is closer to stall?
Question B: A big updraft occurs, which is more likely to stall?


If you vote first it _may_ lead to some good discussion later...


Cheers

Obviously #2. Any one should be able to see that.


Aha, so it is closer to the stall?

Cheers
