  Stall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a theatre or concert hall auditorium, the stalls are the seats on the ground floor directly in front of the stage.
The loss of lift in an aircraft when the critical angle of attack is exceeded results in a stall (flight).
An instruction pipeline of a modern CPU may stall when execution cannot continue because previous events that the current instruction is dependent on has not yet completed.

 All-axis control of aircraft in ultra deep stall - Patent 4261533
The wing 14, not yet stalled, produces lift 40 upward and generally perpendicular to the wing chord; and the thrust 42 of the engine 16 is forward and parallels the axis 24 of the fuselage 12.
Return of the aircraft from ultra deep stall flight to conventional, horizontal, forward flight, or to any desired flight mode, is accomplished merely be returning the stabilizer surface from the steeply tilted condition to its normal orientation relative to the axis 24 of the fuselage 12, i.e.
In less than one second the aircraft was returned to conventional flight by reverting the stabilizer from the fully tilted ultra deep stall position, with leading edge down at an angle of 70 to 90 degrees from the horizontal axis of the fuselage, to the conventional position substantially parallel with said axis of the fuselage.

 Pilot's Web The Aviators' Journal - Load Factor
In an unaccelerated level flight the load on the wings is equal to lift and to the weight.
A stall occurs when the angle of attack is increased to such a value where the smooth flow of air over the airfoil breaks up and tears away, producing an abrupt change of characteristics and loss of lift.
In a straight-and-level unaccelerated flight, a load factor of 1G is always present, but certain maneuvers are known to involve relatively high load factors.

 Fleet E-960: NACA Aircraft in hangar 1953 - clockwise from front center: YF-84A, D-558-1, D-558-2, B-47, X-1 ship 2, ...
Flight research by NACA pilots indicated that this thicker wing produced 30 percent more drag at transonic speeds compared to the thinner wing on the first X-1.
After a final flight on October 23, 1951, the aircraft was grounded due to the possibility of fatigue failure of the nitrogen spheres used to pressurize the fuel tanks.
The results were mixed; the X-5 had vicious stall behavior due to the poor position of the tail and stabilizers.

 Flight Performance in EAW (www.combatsim.com)
It appears to me that many of the discussions under estimate how much of a combat pilot's flight training is dedicated to maneuvering at the edge of the envelope… without pushing too far.
In simplest of terms, stalls, spins, and other types of departures are nature's ways of punishing the pilot for pushing the aircraft too far.
As you may recall from other discussions on the physics of flight, the aircraft produces maximum lift (which is critical for both turn rate and turn radius performance) at maximum angle of attack (AOA).

 Stall
A malfunction in the flight of an aircraft in which there is a sudden loss of lift that results in a downward plunge; "the plane went into a stall and I couldn't control it".
A dangerous stall is one where the nose rises, pushing the wing deeper into the stalled state and potentially leading to an unrecoverable deep stall.
A stall strip is a small sharp-edged device which, when attached to the leading edge of a wing, encourages the stall to start there in preference to any other location on the wing.

 ACI Stall Warning Aircraft list
A stall warning can provide a timely reminder if speed control on approach is lacking, and contributes towards a safe controlled arrival.
The sensor unit is mounted on the leading edge of the wing, and the alarm is actuated by upward movement of the sensor vane.
It is still possible to remove the sensor unit for service/repair etc. With the stall warning unit fitted, PFA Engineering may not require the inboard stall strips, thus significantly improving take off performance.

 Stall Speed in Straight and Level Flight
Thus, we can make a special case definition that the straight and level stall speed is the minimum speed at which the wings can produce lift equal to the weight of the airplane.
It is the stall speed generated by this equation which is quoted in the owners manual of the aircraft we fly.
Now that we know that Air Density is a factor in the Stall Speed equation it is obvious that when an aircraft manufacturer publishes the Stall Speed of an airplane it must be based on a certain altitude (Air Density) value.

 Slow Flight and Stall Recognition - Flight Instruction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Therefore the theory of slow flight and stalls must be thoroughly understood prior to flight demonstrations.
Slow flight on the edge of stall, with the stall warning buzzer screaming, teaches stall recognition.
On the flboard illustrate why in a tight turn the angle of attack is greater on the upper wing, and therefore in a stall the aircraft tends to roll over the top in the opposite direction to the turn.

MAK concludes that the An-24’s angle of attack exceeded the limit for stalling while the aircraft was on the final stages of its landing approach.
“Deceleration of the aircraft to the stalling speed occurred as a result of the actions of the aircraft’s commander,” it says.
MAK states that the crew failed to control the An-24’s speed and allowed it to remain in an inappropriate state of flight for an excessive period.

 Pinnacle CRJ engines shut down after 41,000ft stall -16/11/2004-Flight International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
An aerodynamic stall at 41,000ft (12,470m) was followed by the almost simultaneous shutdown of both engines on the Pinnacle Airlines Bombardier CRJ200 that crashed on 14 October in Jefferson City, Missouri, says the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB),
Flight data recorder (FDR) information indicates that, at 41,000ft - the certificated service ceiling for the CRJ - the stick shaker and stick pusher activated several times before the aircraft stalled and the engines shut down, the NTSB says.
The crew requested an altitude of 13,000ft after declaring an emergency at 41,000ft, and FDR data indicate the APU was on after the aerodynamic stall and the airspeed was sufficient for an APU start.

 Prediction of Post-Stall Aerodynamic Characteristics of Maneuvering Aircraft   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The approach is a direct coupling of fluid dynamics and flight mechanics for use in the flight regimes where the flow phenomena are dominated by vorticity and separation associated with high angles of attack and rapid motions.
It can be used as a prediction capability for specified vehicle motions or flow conditions, or it can be coupled with a six-degree-of-freedom equation-of-motion solver to predict flight trajectories and transient performance characteristics.
Post-stall flight regimes are handled with empirical correlations of wing data.

 Stall Warning System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
On some older aircraft, a small moveable flap located on the leading edge of the wing engages an electrical switch in the cabin, which activates a stall warning buzzer or horn.
On some later aircraft, the system is pneumatic, with a small slot in the leading edge of the wing.
Both types sense approach to stall, and sounds a device in the cabin, warning of impending stall.

 CISI Group - Nonlinear Flight Dynamics: Tailplane Stall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The stall is precipitated by a flap extension during descent, similar to the Vickers Viscount accident at Bromma Airport in Stockholm, Sweden on January 15, 1977 [1].
During the flap extension, the decrease in angle of attack causes an increase in hinge moment and a corresponding increase in stick force pulling the stick forward.
In the case of the iced aircraft, this stick force overpowers the pilot and a catastrophic tailplane stall occurs.

 Model of Unsteady Aerodynamic Coefficients of a Delta Wing Aircraft at High Angles of Attack - Storming Media
Abstract: Studies on the subject of near-stall or post-stall flight have a direct impact on the evaluation of flight safety, on performance in terms of landing distance, and on increases in maneuverability.
For several years, new flow control concepts have been studied, and some of them have proven effective in overcoming the difficulties (e.g., loss of control in yaw, asymmetry of forebody, roll instability) involving flight at high angles of attack.
It is necessary to have a precise model of aerodynamic forces and moment to allow the design of efficient control laws and to evaluate the capabilities of a fighter in term of maneuverability.
