Default Stalls - Angle of Attack versus Vstall

Bottom line the wing needs airspeed to fly. At a certain speed the wing
starts to lift, when it loses this speed, losing lift it stalls. Stick your
hand out the window of your car shape it like a wing at a certain speed it
will lift all by itself and basically be weightless.
