Default RE: Spanwise Lift and Stall Sequence

they all stall - sooner or later
the real problem is which one becomes uncontrollable first?
and the answer to that is not found on the wing
IFthe stall is "matched" from tip to tip the stall will just cause a downpitch - (it happens duringn landing quite oftenand is sometimes desirable
But if the plane skids -then the the entire lift distribution along both left n right sides can be nasty.
a veryshort couple design (say-a flying wing - like a Dyke delta ) if skidded at critically lowspeed - will take forever to get realigned and back into control -ditto for a similar model or one with long spna and short front to rear arrangement with small tail group
Jou can practice stalls andfeed in a tiny bit of rudder to see how this all wrks - .
edit this as reqf-I cant see or spell anymore.
