Re: Critical angle of attack

The conventional way of modelling flight is by using a table that determines the planes coefficient of lift and drag according to its present AoA which is based on its W and U velocities. (You know all this I'm sure) The conventional is indeed to use a set of tables, and is often called the coeffic...
