In aviation, a strake is an aerodynamic surface generally mounted on the fuselage of an aircraft to improve the flight characteristics either by controlling the airflow (acting as large vortex generators) or by a simple stabilising effect. In general a strake is longer than it is wide, in contrast to a winglet or a moustache.
An anti-stall strake is a leading edge extension that generates a vortex on the wing upper surface to postpone the stall. A stick pusher is a mechanical device that prevents the pilot from stalling an aircraft.
Anti-stall (aeroplane controls), a flight envelope protection system designed to prevent an aircraft for stalling, for example by pushing the nose down Anti-stall strakes , leading-edge slots or extensions , and stall strips ; in fluid and aerodynamics, extensions that generates a vortex on a wing surface to postpone aerodynamic stall
The Joint Authorities Technical Review (JATR) was commissioned by the FAA in April to look into the agency's oversight and approval of the so-called MCAS anti-stall system.
Aircraft wing leading-edge extensions – annotated. A leading-edge extension (LEX) is a small extension to an aircraft wing surface, forward of the leading edge. The primary reason for adding an extension is to improve the airflow at high angles of attack and low airspeeds, to improve handling and delay the stall. A dog tooth can also improve ...
Boeing is facing mounting pressure to roll out a software update on its best-selling plane in time for airlines to use the jets during the peak summer travel season.
WASHINGTON/PARIS (Reuters) - An anti-stall system at the center of a probe into the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX jetliner in Indonesia five months ago was also at play when an identical aircraft ...
One example of such a flight envelope protection device is an anti-stall system which is designed to prevent an aircraft from stalling, [7] for example in the form of a stick pusher that pushes the aircraft nose downward based on an input signal from a stall warning system, [8] or by means of other fly-by-wire actions.
