What that has to do with your claim of raising the nose with the elevator at the stall, I cannot imagine. |
Wow you just don't get it, if the elevator is EFFECTIVE then you can control pitch both ways, what you just don't appear to grasp is the actual reason an aircrafts nose drops once the wing is completely stalled, that is simply because once stalled there is no pivot for elevator forces to act upon, all the time there is even the slightest portion of the wing still flying then the elevator has effect, only once the wing is FULLY stalled does the elevator run out of authority, once a wing is FULLY stalled inboard outboard and slats what is the protection against spinning?
