If anything happens to deflect or destroy that proper airflow (smooth flow of air around the wing) the wing loses lift, and is said to stall.
This could be from loss of speed or too much angle of attack (pulling back to hard)
In many cases the actual stall is preceded by a buffet (shaking) In Many cases you can avoid the stall by lowering the nose of the aircraft.
A spin is an aggravated stall
Yes that is true but another reason an aircraft could stall is because the service celing of the aircraft has been reached the aircraft can no longer produce enough thrust to keep it in the air because the air is too thin or the engines aren't strong enough

∙ 13y agoThe stall of an aircraft can occur in two ways: 1. Wing stall and 2. Engine stall.
1. Wing stall is when the angle of attack (AOA) of the aircraft is too high (the angle between the airflow and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft). The optimum angle is 4°. Stall usually occurs at 15°. Stall occurs because the air flowing over a wing is insufficient to produce the pressure difference to produce the lift required. So in a wing stall, the weight of the aircraft is greater than the lift of the aircraft.
2. Engine stall occurs when the forward air speed of the aircrft is insufficient for the combustion of the fuel to take place. Ideal ratio is 14:1 (oxygen:fuel). If the ratio falls to much then the air becomes turbulent and causes the engine to 'choke'. An engine stall, if not corrected, will lead to a wing stall as the thrust required to produce the lift is insufficient, therefore the weight is the leading force.

What can immediately rob an aircraft of all forward airspeed and lift resulting in uncontrolled descents?
That would be a wing stall, or just, 'stall'. This kind of stall has nothing to do with the aircraft's engine, if it has one.
What is the effect of uncontrolled climb and descent in an aircraft called?
Stall
What is the stall speed of a 777?
The stall speed of an aircraft depends on its altitude, weight, configuration, and lateral and vertical acceleration. The stall speed for a 777 is dependent on these real-time factors.
What is the meaning of clean stall and dirty stall in aircraft?
A Clean Stall is happens in the aircrafts normal cruise configuration. A Dirty Stall is occurs in the landing configuration, landing gear, slats, flaps in the landing position.
What is a sudden and potentially dangerous loss of lift in an aircraft?
probably a stall, but they are not that dangerous, if you are trained to get out of them
Where is stall warning vane located in Airbus 330?
Airbus aircraft do not use stall vanes for stall warning. Airbus use a sophisticated system of stall prevention instead, with the angle of attack and slat settings are primary parameters in the fly-by-wire computer system.The angle of attack is determined by two electrically heated alpha probes on either side of the forward fuselage.As the aircraft approaches a stall condition, (in normal law) the flight computers take control and return controls to a non-stall position.
Why are volcanoes a threat to flying aircraft?
The smoke and ash in the air can either blind the pilot or stall the engine
Why does a helicopter engine to stall during an ash storm?
Almost any aircraft egine will stall if ingesting ash instead of clean air. Clean air is essential to an engine's performance
Can a plane stand in air?
Helicopters and some STOL aircraft can stand still in the air. If an actual winged aircraft does this it will 'stall' because air pressure is not moving over the wings.
Is 2.32 km in 10 mins good?
No, at that speed your combat aircraft will stall and come crashing down to the ground.
What is groundspeed of the aircraft?
Ground speed is the speed the aircraft has compared to the ground. This is usually different from air speed, which is the aircraft's speed compared to the surrounding air. Thus an aircraft with 400 kph air speed and 50 kph headwind has a ground speed of 350 kph. For fun: with light aircraft with very low stall speeds it's possible to fly backwards (compared to the ground) if they fly into a headwind that's stronger than their lowest stall speed. I.e. their ground speed is negative.
