noun
Meaning 1
An extremely dangerous type of aerodynamic stall (sudden loss of lift caused by airflow separation) where the angle of attack of a T-tailled aircraft becomes so high that the horizontal stabilizer and elevators are blanketed by the turbulent wake of the main wings, rendering the stabilizer and elevators ineffective and often preventing recovery from the stall.
