I need a good reference for the purpose and characteristics of stall strips.
My problem is a lot of people teach that it creates the stall at the root instead of the tip, when the stall strip is installed centered in the middle of the wing. Trying to provide a reference for credibility.
On a PA28 it's over the flaps. On a PA28R over the ailerons.

Anybody know why some bonanzas have some stall strips that stick out maybe six inches from the leading edge? One that I have done some work on has the typical small stall strips, and the large wedge.
Perhaps this is enough for credibility:

I noticed that the article references a book that I have, so I'll see if it has more info when I get home.
That link didn't work for me tgray....says it's "forbidden". :dunno:
I noticed that, but the link does work; after you get to the "forbidden" page, put the cursor in the address bar and hit enter, and it will load. Maybe the page doesn't like being linked to.
I would imagine it would have something to do with the slipstream of the propeller being on the right side of the plane in high AoAs. The right strip was probably placed farther out to get it in undisturbed air.I also noticed on the F33A Bonanzas that the stall strips are not in the same place on either wing.
they're all dead set on teaching that it promotes stall progression from root to tip.
