Stall (flight) — For other uses, see stall. In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is… … Wikipedia

Dutch roll — is a type of aircraft motion, consisting of an out of phase combination of tail wagging and rocking from side to side. This yaw roll coupling is one of the basic flight dynamic modes (others include phugoid, short period, and spiral divergence).… … Wikipedia
Stability derivatives — are a means of linearising the equations of motion of an atmospheric flight vehicle so that conventional control engineering methods may be applied to assess their stability.The dynamics of atmospheric flight vehicles is potentially very… … Wikipedia
