@pilotmakers: Ever wonder what happens when an airplane stalls? This video is a perfect example! Stalls aren’t about the engine, they’re about the airflow. These yarn strings show smooth, attached airflow over the wings. As angle of attack increases, the airflow separates, lift decreases, and a stall occurs. #stall #pilotmakers #flighttraining #generalaviation #learntofly

WatzEtzFace :

Is this an airspeed stall or engine stall? Or does too low an airspeed cause the stall.

🔥Burns🔥 :

proof that blue painters tape sticks to everything, except when painting.

JPMarMen :

I still don’t know what happens when an airplane stalls. 😅

John Travis Lee :

notice how the stall starts at the root of the wing and spreads outwards. The wing is designed that way so you still have aileron authority in a stall

Elsie :

Love the visualization of inboard flow separation and preservation of control authority on the ailerons!

Rican_g828 :

The strings:

Branden :

Scotch tape stronger than my last relationship 😂

imgoingtobeworsenow :

where is the lift? shouldn't those be standing up?

ton :

also demonstrates how stall strips on the leading edge intentionally induce a stall closer to the fuselage while keeping clean air moving over the control surfaces

Witwickedy :

It’s cool seeing how accurate the stall warning was

Kimberly Holloway :

When the strings get jiggy, you better get some air over those wings!

ncas_48 :

Great example.

Poutine Forever 🇨🇦 :

that's cool. thanks for the demo.

GabrielZA ✈️🇿🇦 :

All the little worms start doing the Macarena.

CAPT.NIKKO :

Really appreciate how you illustrated inboard flow separation while maintaining aileron control authority!💯🔥

Codius Maximus :

I need to know what tape you’re using

WalterBufalini :

Stall. Go more speed..

Las alas estaban perdiendo su perfil aerodinámico no?

ImCCK.103422 :

Q: why does the airflow at the wing root separates earlier than at the wing tip?

Giorgos CG :

Critical layer detaches, turbulent flow appears and bye bye lift!!!

Laura :

so is that what turbulence is when you're flying? when you drop suddenly?

addibus350 :

Its a very good way to show the when the critical angle of attack is hit, the critical point where flow turns from laminar to turbulent is pushed towards the front the wing which creates a bigger boundary layer and separates the flow which then causes lift to decrease significantly

nkopp :

LUFFING!

Billy C :

Not many people know that the lift comes from the top of the wings. Cool demonstration
