During certification of a 727 hushkit I went through 600+ stalls as the observer. Some were so deep that the indicated air speed was less than 80 kts. During one stall, the right wing broke early and we went about 95% of the way to inverted.
Jeez, that must of been some ride!Whats it like experiencing a stall in an airliner and nearly rolling completely over?i know what its like in a light aircraft (stalls that is, not inverted flight!)
regards
(P.s what are wind up stalls?)
