   Stall
   The wing of an aeroplane is said to stall when the smooth flow over the top surface breaks down and degenerates into turbulence. Reverse flow may even be present. The lift of the wing then drops suddenly and with it controllability. A dive is necessary to pick up speed and restore the flow. Most wings stall normally at 15°, or at 25° with slots.
