A delta wing has
- a lower stall angle than a straight wing.
- a higher stall angle than a straight wing.
- the same stall angle than a straight wing.
Explanation from PART66Online
Because of their highly swept, low-aspect-ratio planform, delta wings generate lift largely through strong leading-edge vortices that keep airflow attached to very high angles of attack. As a result a delta wing reaches its stalling angle much later than a conventional straight wing, which separates at a comparatively low angle.

help....
i want to know about delta wing lift,drag and stall

Correct my statement if its wrong..
Delta wing lift depends on angle of incident..
Delta wing lift increase by increasing incident angle..
Lift of any wing depends on:
1) coefficient of lift
2) surface area of wing
3) air density
4) square of airspeed
Coefficient of lift depends on many factors, one of them is angle of attack. Don't confuse angle of attack with angle of incidence.
Lift formula: L = (Cl * Ï * S * V^2) / 2
