Airflow during a stall.

Harv's Air (thanks to Jordan) decided we wanted to show the airflow before, during and after a stall. So Jordan spent $1.29 on yarn and taped the entire wings with 4 rows of 4-5 inch long pieces of yarn. As the airplane approaches the stall you'll see the airflow on the wing. Take note of where the turbulence starts as the wing starts to stall and how the air flow reorganizes as the wing recovers from the stall. The airplane is a Diamond DA40 over southern MB (Trans Canada highway comes into view), Lots more stuff on at www.pilottraining.ca and www.harvsair.com

this visual representation is excellent - I can't believe what I'm seeing - book illustrations just can't capture what you have here - great thx

Thanks for posting this very useful and instructional video that can be used for engineering fluids analysis, great job!

the only one dislike is that pilot...

This is a great video. I can now visually describe why an airplane stalls at the root first!

Thank you so much!

That is a really cool demonstration. Gives a very good visual.

so, the reason it dives after the flow effect, it's intentional go gain speed and come to normal? Is that dangerous more than a couple secs in stall?

Huh! That is fascinating

What an awesome idea, That is an amazing way to show airflows during a stall!

Cool stuff... someone with some fluid expertise wanna remix this video with a voiceover?

[Pyrotrons]

Awesome...

Amazing man !  you just made my life as a CFI 10x easier
