Stall speed is an aerodynamic term.

For every weight of every aircraft, there is an airspeed at which the wing's angle of attack will exceed the critical angle of attack. At this angle of attack the air will no longer flow smoothly over the upper surface of the wing. The wing will cease developing sufficient lift and the wing will stall.
