Consider the various wing designs, including airfoil characteristics, wing planform, and lift devices such as flaps, slats, vortex generators, and boundary layer devices. Next, think about how these impact the stall characteristics of the wing. Finally, search for an example of an aircraft incident or accident involving a stall or spin. If ground effect could have been a factor, please also bring this into the discussion (for example, a stall on take-off). Answer the following questions about your scenario: What phase of flight was the aircraft in when the incident/accident occurred? (Take-off, cruise, pattern, landing) What attitude was the aircraft in when the incident/accident occurred? (Turn, straight and level, climb, descent, accelerating, decelerating) What were the wings' aerodynamic characteristics, and how do they relate to the accident incident? What could have been done differently to prevent this accident/ incident?
