Which risk increases when an aircraft wing exceeds its critical angle-of-attack?

💡 Explanation

A stall occurs because increased angle-of-attack causes turbulent airflow (flow separation) over the wing, therefore lift is suddenly lost, rather than gradual drag increase or control enhancements that might dominate different conditions.
