The safety requirements applicable to fixed wing aircraft in the transport category , and also to many military aircraft, are very demanding in the area of pre stall handling qualities and stall recovery. Some of these aircraft are unable to comply with these safety requirements relying solely on the natural aerodynamic qualities of the aircraft. In order to comply with the requirements aircraft designers may install a system that will constantly monitor the critical parameters and will automatically activate to reduce the angle of attack when necessary to avoid a stall.

There are few knots whose stick number can be determined exactly.
