Microlight Stall

Posted by: Darren | Comments (1)

Stalling an aircraft has nothing to do with the engine, when you stall your car, it means the engine has stopped, but in aircraft it means the wing has stalled below its slowest flying speed, Gliders can stall and they dont have engines. So when an aircraft stalls its all about forward speed as any heavier than air aircraft have to move forward to generate lift to keep it flying.

James flew the new aluminum aircraft prototype on July 18, 2011. Here you can see the plane in take-off, flight, and landing. See more details on our website: www.beliteaircraft.com
