What does coffin corner mean in aviation?
What does coffin corner mean in aviation? In aviation, coffin corner (or Q corner) refers to the point at which the Flight Envelope boundary defined by a high incidence stall intersects with that defined by the critical Mach number.
What altitude is coffin corner?
Flight 447 was also flying at a cruise altitude of 35,000 feet, an altitude where the relationship between an aircraft's stall speed and the speed of sound has gained the name the coffin corner.
What is Dutch roll in aviation?
Dutch roll is a type of aircraft motion consisting of an out-of-phase combination of tail-wagging (yaw) and rocking from side to side (roll).
What is the difference between the service ceiling and the absolute ceiling?
A service ceiling is not really an absolute limit on the altitude that a particular design can achieve, but one at which the aircraft begins to run out of climb capability. The absolute altitude is a measure of how high an aircraft can climb, when it runs out of any further climb capability, under normal-rated load.
What is the meaning of the absolute ceiling?
Specifically, the absolute ceiling is the highest altitude that an aircraft can maintain level flight without being affected by the pressure difference between the outside pressure and the in-cabin pressure.
