Stall Nedir ve Neden Oluşur?
Bir uçak, **kritik hücum açısını aştığında stall meydana gelir. Uçağın kanadı, üzerindeki hava akışının düzenli olmasını gerektirir. Ancak hücum açısı kritik seviyeyi geçtiğinde, hava akımı kanadın yüzeyinden ayrılarak türbülanslı hale gelir. Bu da **kaldırma kuvvetinin kaybolmasına** ve uçağın kontrolünü kaybetmesine neden olur.…

Understanding Aircraft Stalls
An aircraft stalls when the smooth, laminar airflow over the wing’s upper surface separates and becomes turbulent. This happens when the critical angle of attack is exceeded, regardless of airspeed. As a result, lift is lost because the disrupted airflow increases pressure on the wing’s upper surface. The only way to recover from a stall is to reduce the angle of attack by relaxing back pressure or pushing the control column forward….
