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 ...
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]
CFD stands for computational fluid dynamics (and heat transfer). As per this technique, the governing differential equations of a flow system or thermal system are known in the form of Navier–Stokes equations, thermal energy equation and species equation with an appropriate equation of state. [1]
A stick shaker is a mechanical device designed to rapidly and noisily vibrate the control yoke (the "stick") of an aircraft, warning the flight crew that an imminent aerodynamic stall has been detected. It is typically present on the majority of large civil jet aircraft, as well as most large military planes.
Aeroelasticity involves not just the external aerodynamic loads and the way they change but also the structural, damping and mass characteristics of the aircraft. Prediction involves making a mathematical model of the aircraft as a series of masses connected by springs and dampers which are tuned to represent the dynamic characteristics of the ...
Dissymmetry of lift [1]: 2–20 [2] (also known as asymmetry of lift [3]: 342 [4] or asymmetric lift [5] [6]) in rotorcraft aerodynamics refers to an unequal amount of lift on opposite sides of the rotor disc. It is a phenomenon that affects single-rotor helicopters and autogyros in forward flight.
The incident was found to have happened after their EV-97 EuroStar light aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall after descending too steeply.
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 ...
