Stall Strips
A stall strip is a fixed aerodynamic device employed on fixed-wing aircraft to modify the airfoil used. They are usually factory-installed or, on rarer occasion, an after-market modification. Stall strips are almost always employed in pairs, symmetrically on both wings. In rare installations they are employed as a single strip on one wing to correct aberrant stall behaviour.
