Tailplane Stall

The NASA video. 23 minutes, much good information, but presented with the MEGO-inducing style of most government-produced videos.

(If they really wanted to encourage abstinence, all they'd have to do is give the government the job of producing all of the porn.)

I didn't get how reducing power under tail plane stall was better than throwing everything. But I'm not a pilot. Just seemed to me if either the wing or tail plane was stalling or close, full throttle was part of the answer.

I don't understand the physics, either, but the experimental results showed that adding power in a tailplane stall is a Bad Thing.
