@gowill2 You've flown "under" stall speed? Not unless you had a powerplant capable of keeping you up in a post stall condition, and I'm going to guess you aren't flying a jet fighter, or a purpose built aerobatic plane. If you aren't flying something that has better than 1:1 thrust:weight ratio, then anything "under" stall speed you are falling out of the sky. You might call that flying. I call it falling.

@tburns7v Actually your wrong, you can stall at any airspeed.

@HawaiiJuniorCycling Que?

[PhrynosomaTexas]

@TheFr3sh1 And when you are "under stall speed" that would be described by most pilots as FALLING...like a brick!

[PhrynosomaTexas]

@TheFr3sh1 semantics idiot. Falling and descending mean the same fuckin thing.

Looked like the plane's weight and balance was thrown too far aft to me. It would eventually lead to a stall, but I don't see how it actually stalled in this video.

Yep thats a high speed stall! When the stall happens the aircraft pitches up for a second rises an then begins to fall. This is how we land with a hangglider, you fly with 30 km/h and 1 second later you have a perfect 2 foot stand-still landing (well most of the time).

in a plane like that, with that many people on borad and that much drag on the side the plane....IF....stalled would drop like a rock.

This thing went up you DO NOT go up in a stall its impossible.

The definition of stall is a lose of lift and that is the only upward vector. If you don't have it then it can't go up.

There is visual evidence that this aircraft did not stall

@leneanderthalien I never said anything about the video, just about the comment that tburns7v made.

@TheMeslava

True, the stall occurs at more than 16-17° angle of attak from a conventionnal wing, but in this video not stall to see (nose go a bit up but not down)...
