Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-66/31
Title and Subtitle: The stall barrier as a new preventive in general aviation accidents.
Report Date: September 1966
Authors: Von Rosenberg CW, Keen FR, Mohler SR.
Abstract: An elementary device, actuated by the conventional stall warning vane, is described which can be inexpensively installed in any aircraft. The new device, the Stall Barrier, prevents stalls through (1) warning the pilot through the 'touch sense' of the impending stall, and (2) taking corrective action for the pilot. Short-field take-offs, slow flight, and short-field landings, can all be accomplished safely with this device at absolute minimum speeds.
Key Words: stall warning indicators, safety equipment, aviation safety, aviation accidents, takeoff, aircraft landings.
