This video is about the Critical Angle Of Attack.

Before talking about the Critical Angle of Attack we need to understand what the Angle of Attack (AOA) is.

By definition, the AOA is the angle between the wing chord line and the relative airflow.

The Chord Line is the imaginary straight line that goes from the leading edge to the trailing edge of your wing.

So the higher the pitch angle the higher will be your angle of attack.

The Critical Angle of Attack is the AOA that produces the max lift coefficient, however, if you overshoot the critical angle of attack your wing will stall regardless of the speed.

This is so because due to the high Angle of Attack the airflow won't be able to stay attached to the upper surface of the wing thus leading to a stall.

Normally, the critical angle of attack is between 15 to 20 degrees depending on the aircraft type.

There is a close relationship between the Manoeuvring Speed (Va) and the Critical Angle of Attack, the critical AOA is constant and the Va changes depending on the gross weight of your aircraft.
