Which mechanism causes decreased lift when aircraft wings exceed critical angle?

💡 Explanation

Adverse pressure gradient formation results in flow separation, therefore lift decreases because the separated flow disrupts the pressure differential, rather than increased thickness or lower aspect ratio effects which cause drag.
