Default RE: What is 3D?

Actually, how much lift a stalled wing generates depends on the airfoil. There are several airfoils out there that just kind of mush and slowly loose lift as AOA increases, with very little immediate drop in lift. There are also a number of airfoils where the lift basically falls off a cliff past a certain AOA. The later are real fun on landing approaches.
