To ensure that a wing stalls at the root first, stall wedges are
- installed on the wing leading edge at the wing tip.
- installed on the wing leading edge at the wing root.
- installed at the wing trailing edge at the wing root.
Explanation
Stall (stall-inducing) wedges or strips are fitted to the leading edge near the root so the airflow there breaks away first. This makes the root stall before the tip, preserving aileron authority and giving stall warning buffet over the tailplane; mounting them at the tip or trailing edge would not achieve root-first stalling.
