The stall

  1. 080-07-01 Flow separation and the stall planned

    Flow separation at increasing angles of attack: (a) the boundary layer: (1) laminar layer; (2) turbulent layer; (3) transition. (b) separation point; (c) influence of angle of attack; (d) influence on: (1) pressure distribution; (2) location of centre of pressure; (3) C L; (4) C D; (5) pitch moments. (e) buffet; (f) use of controls.

  2. 080-07-02 Stall speed and load factor planned

    The stall speed: (a) in the lift formula; (b) 1g stall speed; (c) influence of: (1) the centre of gravity; (2) power setting; (3) altitude (IAS); (4) wing loading; (5) load factor n: (i) definition; (ii) turns; (iii) forces.

  3. 080-07-03 How a wing stalls along its span planned

    The initial stall in span-wise direction: (a) influence of planform; (b) geometric twist (wash out); (c) use of ailerons.
