Have you seen a wing like this at your home airport?

It’s called a split wing.

The wing root flies at a higher angle of attack than the wingtip, causing the root to stall first.

That gives you buffet and warning signs before the wingtip stalls, helping keep the ailerons effective longer.

Train with FLY8MA online (including our FREE PPL ground school), or join us in Alaska for real-world flying and a stay at our pilot lodge.
