stall: At low angles of attack, the lift developed by an airfoil or wing will increase with an increase in angle of attack However, there is a maximum angle of attack after which the lift will decrease instead of increase with increasing angle of attack This is know as stall Knowing the stall angle of attack is extremely important for predicting the minimum landing and takeoff speeds of an airplane

stall: Aeroplanes stall in a completely different way to cars: the engine is irrelevant A plane stalls when the wings meet the air at too high an angle The air cannot follow the curved top surface and instead breaks away in eddies and vortices As a result lift ceases to be sufficient to support the plane Due to the physical properties of air, a stall can happen very suddenly A loss of height is the inevitable result To recover, the pilot just has to get the air flowing quickly over the wing again This is easily done by diving for a short distance, which builds up speed However if the aeroplane is within 100 feet of the ground there may not be enough room to recover Sufficient airspeed must always be maintained to avoid a stall Early pilots were very vulnerable to the stall because (a) they did not understand it, (b) they flew slowly and (c) they often stayed low as their aeroplanes had poor climbing ability Press 'Back' to return

stall: In a centrifugal compressor stage stall is mild form of surge It is the flow at which the stage is no longer making any ratio, but has not surged The flow actually becomes detached from the tips of the impeller rendering it ineffective Stall can be heard as a rumbling in the discharge pipe Running for extended periods of time in stall can cause a impeller blade failure due to vibration and fatigue
stall: What happens when the angle of attack is too great to generate lift regardless of airspeed (Every airfoil has an angle of attack at which it generates maximum lift -- the airfoil will stall beyond this angle)
