Stall is defined by airflow separating from the airfoil which happens at a certain angle which can be thought of identical in the flight envelope. It should be changed to: "No you can't. But if you slow down too much AND TRY TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE you will have to increase angle of attack. When the angle of attack reaches your critical angle that is what we call stall speed. | |
