The CL-215 has a stall strip on the right wing only. A stall strip initiates flow separation on a region of the upper surface of the wing during flight at high angle of attack. This is typically to avoid a tendency to spin following a stall, or to improve the controllability of the airplane as it approaches the stall.
The origins of the CL-215 can be traced back to two earlier project studies conducted by Canadian aircraft manufacturer Canadair, the CL-43 and CL-204.The CL-43 was conceived as a logistics aircraft and was based on the design of the Canadian Vickers-built 369 Canso (which was itself a variant of the Consolidated PBY Catalina).
A stall strip is a small sharp-edged device that, when attached to the leading edge of a wing, encourages the stall to start there in preference to any other location on the wing. If attached close to the wing root, it makes the stall gentle and progressive; if attached near the wing tip, it encourages the aircraft to drop a wing when stalling.

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
Washout may be accomplished by other means e.g. modified aerofoil section, vortex generators, leading edge wing fences, notches, or stall strips. This is referred to as aerodynamic washout. Its purpose is to tailor the spanwise lift distribution or reduce the probability of wing tip stall. Winglets have the opposite effect to washout.
Wings of more than 8 or 9 aspect ratio features other devices to complete the cuff effect, [17] for example stall strips (as used on the Cirrus SR22 and Cessna 400), "Rao slots" (as used on the Questair Venture), vortex generators or segmented droop (as used on a NASA modified Cessna 210). In the case of the high aspect ratio Cessna 210 wing ...
In 2003, the engine were revised, and the cars were upgraded with the Pre-Safe precrash system and a DVD-based navigation system vs CD-based COMAND system. The CL 55 AMG became supercharged allowing the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.27 seconds according to Motor Trend and the V12 CL 600 had turbochargers added along with a slight reduction in engine capacity, from 5,786 cc (5.8 L) to ...
