I also recall something about aspect ratios and AOA. I think
there was something about a higher aspect ratio wing stalling
at a lower AOA than a lower aspect ratio wing with
the same wing area and loading.
This is not the case. Stall AoA on relatively high-aspect ratio wings
such as on gliders is dependent on airfoil only.
Delta-wings with very low aspect-ratio indeed have a higher stall AoA.
