hows bangkok treating you?

edit: while i agree with you that a lack of speed renders the dive planes useless, i still maintain that they do not "stall like an airplane" as the original post asked.

airplane wings do not stall because of a lack of speed, they stall because of an exceedence of a critical angle of attack, this can occur at 60 knots, 100 knots, 140 knots etc... speed is completely out of the equation.

the original post asked "will a submarin stall like an airplane?" the answe of course is "no"

as i said in my previous posts, though the lack of speed will render the dive planes useless, they are not "stalling" like in an airplane.
