The condition in which the wing wake blankets a high-mounted tailplane, leaving the elevator powerless, is called _____.

  • A.flutter
  • B.Dutch roll
  • C.buffet
  • D.deep stall

Answer: D

Correct answer: deep stall

Deep stall is the condition in which the wing's separated wake rises at extreme angle of attack and blankets a high-mounted tailplane, so the elevator has no clean air to work in and cannot lower the nose.

It is self-sustaining, the aircraft descending at high incidence with the wake still over the tail, and recovery may be impossible - which is why the treatment is prevention by stick shaker and pusher. Flutter is an aeroelastic instability, buffet is separated-flow vibration, and Dutch roll is a lateral-directional oscillation.
