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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Philippine aircraft carrying soldiers crashed in July after an "unrecoverable stall", killing more than 50 people in one of the country's worst military air disasters, the armed forces said Thursday ...
