My friend who works with me is an aviation expert. Thanks to him, I learnt a new term "Stall". The term stimulated my interest that I looked up the meaning and description in Wikipedia.

 "a stall in an aircraft is an event that causes the aircraft to lose altitude suddenly".

While it can happen for many reasons, this terminology is used in reference to a phenomenon where the wings stall, when the angle that the wings form when they open up against the air flow passes a critical angle ( this is also called angle of attack - AOA ).

It may seem very complicated to maintain an angle lesser than AOA during several manaeuvering actions; but in reality it is made easy, thanks to the technological advancements that help a closely accurate measurement of the aircraft behavior.

Thanks to Wikipedia for the information and the image.
