  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. Coffin corner (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    Coffin corner (also known as the aerodynamic ceiling [1] or Q corner) is the region of flight where a fast but subsonic fixed-wing aircraft's stall speed is near the critical Mach number, at a given gross weight and G-force loading. In this region of flight, it is very difficult to keep an airplane in stable flight.

  4. Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked - Wikipedia

    Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked is a cooking simulation-styled minigame compilation developed by American studio Red Fly Studio and published by Namco Bandai Games. It was released exclusively in North America on November 3, 2009, and is the first video game to use the Food Network license.

  5. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    Spin — an aggravated stall and autorotation. In flight dynamics a spin is a special category of stall resulting in autorotation (uncommanded roll) about the aircraft's longitudinal axis and a shallow, rotating, downward path approximately centred on a vertical axis. [1]

  6. Dynamic stall on helicopter rotors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_stall_on...

    The effect of airfoil geometry on dynamic stall is quite intricate. As is shown in the figure, for a cambered airfoil, the lift stall is delayed and the maximum nose-down pitch moment is significantly reduced. On the other hand, the inception of stall is more abrupt for a sharp leading-edge airfoil. [8] More information is available here. [13]

  7. Stall strips - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_strips

    A stall strip is a small component fixed to the leading edge of the wing of an airplane to modify its aerodynamic characteristics. [1] These stall strips may be necessary for the airplane to comply with type certification requirements.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Food truck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_truck

    A food truck is a large motorized vehicle (such as a van or multi-stop truck) or trailer equipped to store, transport, cook, prepare, serve and/or sell food. [1] [2]Some food trucks, such as ice cream trucks, sell frozen or prepackaged food, but many have on-board kitchens and prepare food from scratch, or they reheat food that was previously prepared in a brick and mortar commercial kitchen.
