 * __WHAT CAUSES A STALL IN A PLANE?__**

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ Nilus Tong 8.4 An airplane wings needs to be aerodynamic for it to lift off the ground. A shape is areo dynamic when it can "cut" through the air. A wing creates lift to counter the force of gravity but when it tilted so much that most of the wing is hitting the wind head that it creates drag. You then enter a state called stall where too much drag has stopped you from getting any lift at all.
