What occurs after a dynamic stall if the tail is held lower than the nose?

In the context of skydiving and aircraft flight dynamics, after a dynamic stall occurs, if the tail is held lower than the nose, the aircraft is likely to enter a full stall. This situation arises because the aerodynamic conditions that led to the dynamic stall prevent the wings from generating sufficient lift, and the improper tail position exacerbates these conditions.

When the tail is positioned lower than the nose, it causes the angle of attack to increase dramatically. This increase can push the aircraft further into a stall beyond the point of dynamic recovery, preventing any possibility of stable flight. In this scenario, the entire airframe may experience a significant loss of lift, leading to a full stall.

In contrast, other outcomes such as controlled descent or recovery to stable flight would typically require a more favorable pitch attitude or correction of the angle of attack to regain lift. Rapid descent may occur, but it does not fully encapsulate the situation where the aircraft has completely stalled. Thus, understanding the dynamics of pitch and stall behavior is crucial for recognizing why entering a full stall is the most likely outcome when the tail remains positioned lower than the nose following a dynamic stall.
