stick-pusher aircraft
1Stick pusher — A stick pusher is a device installed in some fixed wing aircraft to prevent the aircraft from entering an aerodynamic stall. Some large fixed wing aircraft display poor post stall handling characteristics or are vulnerable to deep stall. To… …
2stick pusher — A device to prevent stall. It moves or pushes the stick forward when the angle of attack, or in some cases the rate of change of the angle of attack, exceeds the limit set and ensures that the aircraft does not stall …
3stick pusher — noun An automated mechanical device connected to the control column of some aircraft, which pushes the column forward, thus increasing speed, if the pilot is approaching a stall …
4Stick shaker — A stick shaker is a mechanical device to rapidly and noisily vibrate the control yoke (the stick ) of an aircraft to warn the pilot of an imminent stall. It is connected to the control column of most business jets, airliners and military aircraft …
