Stalling the Plane........... Give me the Plane


Stalling a B-52?

Not sure what your question is. Its possible to stall any aircraft, especially one caught in a massive tailwind like that caused by a nuclear blast. If the tail wind was fater than flight speed it would rob the wings of lift.

You're right, ANY aircraft can stall. I guess most people think that an aircraft stalling happens when its fuel supply has been interrupted!

To stall a plane, just pull the nose up until it reaches an angle so steep the plane loses speed and lift and starts falling instead of flying.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but to get out of a stall just point the nose down and gun the engines so the plane can pick up enough speed to create lift again and level off.

You are right zkpip. ANY plane can stall. No matter how big.


Most of my friends who have inferiority complexes are absolutely right.
