The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will
A
increase if the CG is moved forward.
B
change with an increase in gross weight.
C
remain the same regardless of gross weight.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
PHAK explains that a wing always stalls at the same critical angle of attack regardless of weight, airspeed or attitude. Weight and CG position change the airspeed at which that angle is reached, not the stalling angle itself.
