Hi All,

Imagine a plane in 2 conditions.

1) Climbing with full power
2) Descending fast with 50% power.

Both have constant rates of ascent and descent.

Question A: Which wing is closer to stall?
Question B: A big updraft occurs, which is more likely to stall?

I'm not sure if there's enough information.  If it's a typical prop plant I
would expect that there would be a difference between a high wing and a low
wing due to slipstream effects, but my guess would be that the right wing
would be closer.   Or, are you asking which of the two scenarios is
closer/more likely to stall.    In that case, I'd say the first
configuration.    Full-power departure stalls are easy to encounter.


Ok good, but let's say both planes have the same airspeed. Does that
change anything?
Cheers
