What is stall?

Stall is when something slows down or stops moving, even though it should be going.

Imagine you're pushing a shopping cart in the supermarket. At first, it moves easily with you. But if you stop pushing for a moment, the cart starts to slow down, then finally comes to a stop, that’s stall!

Now imagine your shopping cart is like an airplane wing. When the airplane is moving fast, the air flows smoothly over the wing and helps it stay up in the sky. But if the airplane goes too slow or changes direction suddenly, the air can't flow properly anymore. It gets tangled up, just like when you stop pushing your cart.

This tangling makes the airplane lose lift, which is like the shopping cart losing its speed. That’s what we call a stall in airplanes.

So stall isn’t magic, it’s just something slowing down because of how things move and interact with each other!
