Which part of the wing of a swept - wing aircraft stalls first?
- Both stall together.
- Root stalls first.
- Tip stalls first.
lucdam56 asking:
why tip? In swept-wing aircraft, the airflow partially moves toward the wingtip (the "spanwise flow" effect), causing a different lift distribution compared to straight wings. To avoid stability and controllability issues during a stall, the aerodynamic design is often optimized so that the wing root stalls before the tip.
