Assertion: airfoil's angle | /r/CapableOf | exceed critical value

Source sentences:
text: Notice that once the angle of attack exceeds a critical value the flow separates from the top surface of the airfoil, resulting in a precipitous reduction in lift and an increase in the drag (due to pressure drag); this is called the stall angle, and beyond this angle the airfoil is said to be stalled.
