When an airplane's angle of attack is too great to
generate lift (regardless of airspeed), the plane will
dive and rapidly lose altitude. This is known as a
stall. Every airfoil has an angle of attack at which it
generates maximum lift. The airfoil will stall beyond
this angle.
The mechanism in a helicopter rotor that turns non-
rotating control movements into rotating control
movements.
This phrase describes the wind flow and effects for
the thermals in RealFlight 7.
This is used to keep the throttle at a set position, yet
allows input to the collective of the helicopter.
Generally this function is used to practice
autorotation.
Commonly used to describe the degree of
deflection of a control surface.
This is when the airplane reaches its stall speed and
one wing drops.
The Torque Roll occurs when the nose of the
airplane is pointed vertically and the airplane hovers
in place. The aircraft will rotate left around its roll
axis.
Landing and taking off without a pause, often
confused with a good bounce.
The rearmost edge of the wing or stabilizer.
A model designed to be inherently stable and fly at
low speeds, to give first-time modelers time to think
and react as they learn to fly.
