Deep stall is a hazard particularly associated with which configuration?

  • A.V-tail
  • B.T-tail with rear-mounted engines
  • C.Low conventional tail
  • D.Canard

Answer: B

Correct answer: T-tail with rear-mounted engines

Deep stall needs two things together. At extreme angle of attack the wing's separated wake rises and can blanket a high-mounted tailplane, so the elevator loses effectiveness at the very moment it is needed to lower the nose.

Rear-fuselage engines compound it: they place mass aft, and at high incidence their own intakes are disturbed. The BAC One-Eleven accident of 1963 established the phenomenon, and the standard remedies are a stick shaker and stick pusher to prevent entry, since recovery from a developed deep stall may be impossible.
