I remember hearing somewhere that at very high altitudes, the critical angle of attack for a given airfoil can decrease a bit. Is there any credence to this idea?

Thank you

  • Good reference here two answers down. Mach number (true airspeed) appears to effect airflow over the upper wing, hence a change in critical AoA with altitude (even though IAS is the same). – Robert DiGiovanni Jan 06 '24 at 20:09
