Depending on design, airfoils used in general aviation, stall at angles of attack between 16 to 18 degrees. Because of engine torque and “P” factor, turns to the left will tend to steepen, and banks to the right tend to decrease.

How Do Wings Generate Lift The purpose of wings is to generate lift, that is, create an upward force. They are designed with a special shape called an airfoil, which encourages passing air to turn and deflect downward. High camber generally promotes more airflow deflection, thanks to something called Bernoullis Principle.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance.
