Musical Wings Reduce Aircraft Stall Risk

notwrong writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that a Qantas engineer has found a way to help small aircraft avoid stalling at low speeds: pumping sound through the wings. He found that music also works, having tested Spiderbait and Radiohead (nice choices; Spiderbait apparently works better)."

Stalls are not the only thing alleviated by music

It's nice when science can agree with the things we already know to be true. Music is a great way to overcome more than stalls in aircraft engines. The right song can bring you right back to the moment you first heard it, make time stand still and everything seem alright until the time it ends (and you want to hear it again).

The right song can melt a woman in your arms, make a bad date suddenly go right, turn a night of monotony into a night of romance. When I turn on that Barry White and the moment is just right, the lights go down and...

oh wait...

sorry, forgot this was Slashdot. This kind of talk has no place here.
