Post number 50 in
this thread. Who woulda thought.
Stall is irrelevant to speed.
Yep it is, but show me an AoA indicator in a 152 or pretty much any light trainer?
The stall
speed is generally tested and decided for a particular AC at MTOW, most forward CoG,ISA, Power at idle etc and as someone else mentioned, the aircraft is usually
brand new.So older aircraft are generallt less predictable. That fella had obviously flown some of the heaps of sh1t I have.
The stall can occur at any speed, if approx 16º AoA is exceeded (you could be pointing at the sky or the ground and exceed this critical angle). Thats why Ultralights can get the stall warning to go off at high speed (remind me not to fly with you after a spag bol.)
Heres another coupla simple questions for the gallery:
1-Why does CoG effect stall speed.
2-Why does the stall speed increase so much in a steep turn?
3 Why is there a difference in the buffet (when it happens) between high and low wing.
