Tailplane stalls, particularly ice-contaminated tailplane stalls (ICTS), occur when the horizontal tail exceeds its critical angle of attack, often causing a nose-down tendency and light pitch ...

Accidents resulting from loss of control or spin have been around since the Wright brothers. In the civilian world, stalls have been and, are still, taught as a maneuver. The area is cleared. The ...

Stalls are a normal part of flight, occurring when an airfoil's angle of attack exceeds a critical point, and pilots must understand the three basic types: power-off, power-on, and accelerated.

Fatal accidents involving Hawker 800 and 900XP jets have prompted the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to issue emergency recommendations for post-maintenance stall tests. According to the ...

In Part 2, we discussed Learjet’s research into improving the stall characteristics of its aircraft. Bombardier’s Clinton E. Tanner, senior technical advisor of flight sciences, points out that ...

“Post-stall maneuvering” gives a plane excellent maneuverability—but the equipment needed to boost it comes with tradeoffs, as all advanced aircraft features do. The post-stall maneuvers, like the ...

Although many fixed-wing aircraft can withstand similar rapid pitch-up maneuvers, a vehicle subject to this dynamic stall process is not reliably controllable. Motivated by the lack of detailed ...

Similarities between the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes have focused attention on an anti-stalling system used in the new Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. The Maneuvering Characteristics ...

No conclusions can be reached at this point on what brought down AirAsia Flight 8501, but with information coming from Indonesian transportation officials that the stall warning horn could be heard ...
