BUT... Would another bell or whistle really improve safety over

our surroundings that we can't recognize a burble in the controls,a
slacking of pressure, a reduction in air noise?

Some form of AoA sensing/stall warning is installed on every aircraft
made - except rotorcraft and gliders. The sling-wing guys have an
excuse, we don't. I think our terrible safety record speaks
volumes.

Clearly, pilots don't universally recognize impending stall/spins.
We've been trying to get them to do so for the entire history of
flight without much success. It time for another solution now that
we have the technology.

Has anyone tried any of various AOA instruments on the market? There are
several under $1000.
