Although many fixed-wing aircraft can withstand similar rapid pitch-up maneuvers, a vehicle subject to this dynamic stall process is not reliably controllable. Motivated by the lack of detailed understanding, researchers took a deep dive into the physics of dynamic stall so that it can be used beneficially and reliably by aircraft.
