What will happen to the boundary layer when the angle of attack increases?

When the angle of attack increases, the boundary layer will thicken and separate from the surface of the airfoil earlier, leading to increased drag and reduced lift. This can eventually lead to flow separation and stall if the angle of attack is too high.


To make your own shower stall do you need to have your drain lower?

The drain has to be slightly lower than the rest of the floor. If you tile over a cement floor, it will very gently slope down to a central drain, or a drain at the end. Try to visit some that have been done the way you want to help envision this.


Can condensation in your gas cause it to stall out?

Yes, condensation in your gas can lead to stalling. The water from the condensation can mix with the fuel and disrupt the combustion process in the engine, causing it to stall. It is important to regularly drain any water or condensation from your gas tank to prevent this issue.


What are the effects if you change the wing twist angle?

The wing twist angle is introduced to prevent stall from occurring at the wing tip before than the wing root. Usually wings are 'washout' twisted, resulting in a decreasing angle of attack starting from the root and towards the tip. Precisely, the twist angle is the angle between the zero-lift line of the profile in the current section and the zero-lift line of the root profile. As the twist angle increases along the span, the lower is the local angle of attack and the lower is the lift generated. By this we prevent the wing tip from generating as much lift as the wing root, which may cause the stall to occur at the worst place we'd like it to occur, the ailerons. By washout twist, we obtain to make stall occur at the wing root, without lost of ailerons control.


What is Stall or surge margin graph?

A stall or surge margin graph shows the operating limits of a compressor or turbine system. It typically plots pressure ratio or flow rate against surge margin, which is the distance to the surge line. This graph helps engineers ensure that the system operates safely within its design limits to avoid unstable operation.

When During an approach to a stall an increased load factor will cause the airplane to do what?

stall at a higher airspeed.


What is the airspeed of a plane called when it cannot fly anymore?

Stall.


What can immediately rob an aircraft of all forward airspeed and lift resulting in uncontrolled descents?

That would be a wing stall, or just, 'stall'. This kind of stall has nothing to do with the aircraft's engine, if it has one.


What is the stall speed of a Cessna 172?

In landing configuration (full flaps), the stall speed is 40 knots (indicated airspeed). With flaps up it is 48 knots.


What is the effect of stall on an airplane?

When an airplane stalls, the wings lose lift for a brief period. This makes the airplane pitch down sharply to regain airspeed and resume flying.


What is the stall speed of a 747 heavy?

The stall speed of a Boeing 747 heavy (747-400 or -8 model) is around 155-165 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) at typical landing weight. This speed can vary based on factors such as weight, configuration, and atmospheric conditions.


What happens if you have a bad crank position sensor?

your engine will stall. When you try to restart the engine, it will stutter and stall again.


Why do airplanes stall at times?

The term "stall" describes an airplane that can't produce enough lift to stay in the air. Usually, this means the airplane will descend rapidly and will gain airspeed and lift; thus it will recover from the stall. Pilots practice this because recovering from a stall is important. It is especially important near the ground where there may not be enough time or altitude to recover from a stall, and so the airplane will crash. If you are talking about the enging stalling, it could be the same reasons any engine stall, it either has a fuel problem, an ignition problem or a catastrophic mechanical failure. IF you are talking about the wing stalling, then is is because the wing has exceded the critical angle of attack. quite simply the wing produces no lift and the plane is now falling. the only way to recover is to lower the nose reducing the angle of attack to the relative wind, increase the airspeed to once again to produce lift. Hope this helps.


What is the meaning of clean stall and dirty stall in aircraft?

A Clean Stall is happens in the aircrafts normal cruise configuration. A Dirty Stall is occurs in the landing configuration, landing gear, slats, flaps in the landing position.


Why as density altitude increase reduce speed of helicopter?

To compensate for the decreased air density the rotor blades need a greater angle of attack, pushing the retreating blade closer to stall(reducing the maximum airspeed)
