  2. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

    In generic terms, a stick pusher is known as a stall identification device or stall identification system. [73] A stick shaker is a mechanical device that shakes the pilot's controls to warn of the onset of stall. A stall warning is an electronic or mechanical device that sounds an audible warning as the stall speed is approached. The majority ...

  3. 3D Aerobatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Aerobatics

    In its most basic sense, 3D flight is controlled flight beyond the stalls critical angle of attack (AoA, or alpha) aka post-stall. Because the model is stalled and has little natural airflow across its flight surfaces, most 3D maneuvers require very large control deflections to vector the propeller thrust and change the models attitude.

  4. Maneuvering speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_speed

    V A is the design maneuvering speed and is a calibrated airspeed.Maneuvering speed cannot be slower than and need not be greater than V c. [4]If is chosen by the manufacturer to be exactly the aircraft will stall in a nose-up pitching maneuver before the structure is subjected to its limiting aerodynamic load.

  5. Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_Network:_Cook_or_Be...

    The game places the player in a 3-D kitchen environment and tasks them with cooking meals to be judged upon completion. [3] The kitchen features multiple working areas, each with a dedicated camera angle. [4] From a first-person perspective, players utilize the motion controls of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to cook and prepare food. [3]

  6. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)

    In a normal spin, the wing on the inside of the turn stalls while the outside wing remains flying. It is possible for both wings to stall, but the angle of attack of each wing, and consequently its lift and drag, are different. [3] Either situation causes the aircraft to autorotate toward the stalled wing due to its higher drag and loss of lift.

  7. Angle of attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_attack

    The airspeed at which the aircraft stalls varies with the weight of the aircraft, the load factor, the center of gravity of the aircraft and other factors. However, the aircraft normally stalls at the same critical angle of attack, unless icing conditions prevail. The critical or stalling angle of attack is typically around 15° - 18° for many ...

  8. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    At angles of attack above the stall, lift is significantly reduced, though it does not drop to zero. The maximum lift that can be achieved before stall, in terms of the lift coefficient, is generally less than 1.5 for single-element airfoils and can be more than 3.0 for airfoils with high-lift slotted flaps and leading-edge devices deployed. [76]

  9. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    The definition becomes = ′, where is the reference length that should always be specified: in aerodynamics and airfoil theory usually the airfoil chord is chosen, while in marine dynamics and for struts usually the thickness is chosen. Note this is directly analogous to the drag coefficient since the chord can be interpreted as the "area per ...
