A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane’s wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly. This is caused when the wing

0

exceeds its critical angle of attack. exceeds the maximum speed. exceeds maximum allowable operating weight.

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the aircraft to

0

have a tendency to spin. be more difficult to control. stall at a higher airspeed.
