    I used XFLR5 to simulate an airplane wing and obtained the lift force diagram as shown. However, that graph is a straight line and different from when I ran on the wing designer, the wing stalled at an angle of attack of about 18 degrees. What's wrong with XFLR5 and how should I fix it?

    The panel methods in xflr5 assume inviscid flow and do not predict stall.
    Only the LLT to some extent predicts non-linear effects.
