Abstract
An inexpensive stall warning device for the instrument panel of an airplane or glider operates on the principle of balancing dynamic pressure against normal acceleration forces. It requires only static and pitot pressure inputs and electric power and employs a differential pressure transducer, MEMS rate gyros and accelerometers. These sensors will be monitored by a microprocessor to derive the aerodynamic states of the aircraft, thereupon issuing explicit display and vocal announcements to a pilot to prevent or guide recovery from a stall or spin state as well as overspeed or spiral dive.
