For every weight of every aircraft, there is an airspeed at which the wing's angle of attack will exceed the critical angle of attack. At this angle of attack the air will no longer flow smoothly over the upper surface of the wing. The wing will cease developing sufficient lift and the wing will stall. Airspeed refers to the speed of an aircraft in relation to the air which may be different from groundspeed which is the speed of the aircraft in relation to the ground. ...

Stall (flight) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1984 words)
A stall is a condition in aerodynamics and aviation where the angle between the wing's chord line and the relative wind, defined as the angle of attack, exceeds the critical angle of attack.
Stall speed varies on different airplanes and is represented by color codes on the air speed indicator.
The simplest such device is a 'stall warning horn', which consists of either a pressure sensor or a movable metal tab that actuates a switch, and produces an audible warning in response.
