Actually, this is a common misconception, but there is no such thing as an
inside wing stall on any turn, unless it is a very shallow turn in a pre-stall configuration, and the pilot suddenly applies aileron opposite the turn, in which case the inside wing will stall first. Expanding on my previous thought process. Execesive Overbanking tendancy may be the reason that some aircraft won't (or at least are difficult to) stall the inside wing. The 2-33 for example the overbanking tendancy is so bad that it may run out of aileron to hold it in a constant bank turn at low speed. This requires the pilot either lower the nose or apply opposite rudder to prevent the turn from getting any steeper, both of which will lower the AOA on the inside wing. If the pilot allows the bank to get steeper the airplane runs out of elevator authority and the nose drops on its own increasing the airspeed and also lowering the angle of attack. As is almost always the case moveing the CG back will give the airplane more elevator authority and a better change of being able to stall the inside wing. |
