(Landsberg). A stall occurs when airflow separates from all or part of the upper surface of a wing‚ resulting in sudden loss of lift. This is caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack (angle of attack is the angle between the relative wind and the chord line of the airfoil). Below the critical angle‚ airflow over the wing surface is relatively smooth. Above the critical angle‚ the thin layer of air above the wing‚ or "boundary layer‚" becomes turbulent and separates from the airfoil (Dole and Lewis

centred design Introduction Nowadays‚ User Centered Design has been embedded in many design works. This essay seeks to explore the nature of this approach. This essay is split in to four sections. The first section is to provide a definition for User Centered Design while the second section will explain the benefits of using this approach with examples. I will then move on to discuss the limitations of User Centered Design and a conclusion will come afterwards. What is User Centred Design? User
