Does AOA become 0 after the aircraft flies in a particular attitude for sometime as the relative airflow has changed and how does it affect Stall AOA?
As AOA is the angle between relative airflow and Chord Line. Then after you increase the angle of attack and fly at that angle of attack for some amount of time and the relative airflow changes ...
