Which wing stalls first in a level coordinated turn?
...the outer wing produces more lift because it is traveling faster
Let's take a 2000 lb plane in a level 45 degree turn at 100 knots. Radius of turn is:
R = V$^2$/(11.26×Tan bank angle) = around ...

Which wing stalls first in a level coordinated turn?
Since the outer wing produces more lift due to travelling faster, the inner wing will need to have a higher AoA in order for lift to be the same from both wings (hence the counter aileron inputs). Is ...

Variable-pitch propeller blade design (AOA)
A couple of important distinctions here:
Angle of Attack (AoA) is the local angle of the blade profile relative to the airflow.
Blade pitch is the local angle of the blade profile relative to the ...
