They unflex because the load is removed. In order to stall they would have to unflex faster than the load is removed. If the pilot is pushing, the stall speed can go _way_ down. It's when he starts to load the wings again that his technique, or failure to track his loss of airspeed in the pull/push, can bring about the stall. Jack Isn't it also true that lift will be reduced if a highly flexed wing increases its angle attack beyond the critical angle of attack. If the wing is producing less lift it cannot maintain the flex that existed before the critical angle of attack was exceeded. As the wing unflexes the tip angle of attack increases. Which of those assumptions is invalid? Andy |
