Which outcome occurs when an airplane wing's angle of attack increases beyond its critical value?

💡 Explanation

Flow separation leads to stall when exceeding AoA because the adverse pressure gradient overcomes the fluid's inertia per the Bernoulli principle; therefore stall happens rather than increased lift because kinetic energy decreases and viscous effects dominate.
