Asymmetric collapse situation other than quickly restoring the wing’s default air speed and angle In spite of the R-BUS’ profile stability, strong turbulent air may cause the of attack by progressively reducing the tension on the brake lines. The wing to collapse asymmetrically in very strong turbulence, especially if normal wing reaction will be to have a lateral surge on the re-accelerated the pilot is unable to fly actively and prevent the collapse. -
