Depending on design, airfoils used in general aviation, stall at angles of attack between 16 to 18 degrees. If the bank increases, the loss of vertical lift component tends to lower the nose. Because of engine torque and “P” factor, turns to the left will tend to steepen, and banks to the right tend to decrease.

Aerodynamic Differences Fixed-Wing Aircraft (Airplanes) Airplanes , or fixed-wing aircraft, generate lift through their stationary wings as they move forward. The wings are designed with an airfoil shape, curved on the top and flatter on the bottom, creating a pressure difference when air flows over them.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance.
