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.
I haven't been to Bangkok since 1991...........

Anyhow, It's a submarine!

No they don't stall like aeroplanes.

I'd hate to be in one that rolls over though.......

A split-s.... to the abyss.

blub,blub,blub,blub.........
