For those that don't know already (quite a few judging by some comments), the Shaker is not the stall, its the stall warning and occurs at about 1.05vs (obviously in highly dynamic situations this may change
Thanks for the comments.
Key word is "dynamic situation may change". Re. the stick shaker: You can fly at 1.05vs all day or you may stall in 2 seconds. Not a very smart alerter if you ask me. This suggested alert would sense the instantaneous flight dynamics (keyword: 6 degrees-of-freedom AHRS) and compute time-to-stall in real time for the current a/c configuration. Technically possible today, and presumably could be commercially available in five years at the most. The actual alert might be aural, or a stick "nudge", or whatever.
