In aerodynamics, hysteresis can be observed when decreasing the angle of attack of a wing after stall, regarding the lift and drag coefficients. The angle of attack at which the flow on top of the wing reattaches is generally lower than the angle of attack at which the flow separates during the increase of the angle of attack. [8]
As the angle of attack increases further, the upper surface flow becomes more fully separated and the lift coefficient reduces further. [7] Above this critical angle of attack, the aircraft is said to be in a stall. A fixed-wing aircraft by definition is stalled at or above the critical angle of attack rather than at or below a particular airspeed.
An angle-of-attack indicator for light aircraft, the "AlphaSystemsAOA" and a nearly identical "lift reserve indicator", are both pressure-differential instruments that display margin above stall and/or angle of attack on an instantaneous, continuous readout. The General Technics CYA-100 displays true angle of attack via a magnetically coupled vane.
Based on experimental data, a sweep angle of 30° is able to delay the onset of stall to a higher AoA thanks to the convection of the leading-edge vortex at a lower velocity and reduce the varying rate of lift, pitch moment, and the scale of hysteresis loops. [14]
The sessile drop contact angle is measured by a contact angle goniometer using an optical subsystem to capture the profile of a pure liquid on a solid substrate. The angle formed between the liquid–solid interface and the liquid–vapor interface is the contact angle. Older systems used a microscope optical system with a back light.

The ideal position for a static port is a position where the local air pressure in flight is always equal to the pressure remote from the aircraft, however there is no position on an aircraft where this ideal situation exists for all angles of attack. When deciding on a position for a static port, aircraft designers attempt to find a position ...
