Vs1g is a specific airspeed.
- but varies with altitude, no? Sounds like a variable to me.
It really is of
no significance to a pilot how a wing stalls - it is, as you demonstrate, academic and for wind tunnels and test pilots - not airline pilots. What is significant is what to do
a) to avoid it
b) to recover if it does
None of us have time to think (or worry) about little lambda feet creeping along our wing, of boundary layer shocks, of vortex formation etc in an aeroplane full of passengers. Yes, the confusion remains over what is a 'stall' as I have said, but in real terms it matters not. Avoid or recover. People like you can worry about S/T.
I am gradually learning through these exchanges on PPRuNe that many pilots seem to be unaware of the aerodynamic phenomena which govern the behavior of their airplane. I don't think this disconnect can be healthy.
- that is the essence of this. The disconnect is between those who hold a mouse and those who hold a control column, and in my opinion reasonable.
