An aircraft stall happens when the airflow over the wings is disturbed due to a high angle of attack, causing a loss of lift. This can lead to reduced control or even complete loss of flight stability. In traditional systems, stall warning and recovery rely on mechanical controls and pilot decisions. These older methods can be slow and may not react quickly enough to prevent dangerous situations. They also do not allow automatic adjustment based on real-time flight data. This project aims to make stall recovery smarter and faster by using a Fly-by-Wire (FBW) system powered by a Raspberry Pi. Instead of using mechanical linkages, FBW systems send pilot commands electronically. Our system takes this further by adding automation: the Raspberry Pi constantly reads real-time data from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, which measures the aircraft’s movement, including pitch, roll, and angle of attack. If it detects that the aircraft is about to stall, the system automatically moves the control surfaces like the elevator. These quick adjustments help bring the aircraft back to a safe flying condition.
