Aileron Control In Stalls And Spins A wing stalls when the airflow approaches it at an angle greater than the Critical Angle of Attack. This type of design is common in delta-winged aircraft such as fighter jets. The downside of this approach is a lack of redundancy. UA232 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, a tri-jet.
