Wink Stall warning devices

Hello Everyone,

I'm going to open this thread by treating the stall prevention/warning devices adupted by different manufacturers (e.g. Airbus, Boeing etc.).
While Boeing usually implements a stick shacker/pusher device, Airbus philosophy is much more complex: in the last case stall prevention is given by FCC's (Flight Control Computers) who automatically limit angle of attack up to a certain value. Alpha Floor/TOGA lock automatically prevents the aircraft from stalling when operating in normal law.

The topic of this thread is not how the various systems prevents the stall but what is the better way to prevent it (i.e. Airbus or Boeing philosophy) !

Actually I deem Airbus as the best promoter of safety and technological innovation ...


Keep writing,
