At high altitudes, pilots face a narrow window between too slow and too fast—this is the Coffin Corner, one of the most dangerous zones in aviation. 😮✈️ In this video, we break down what Coffin Corner means, why it happens, and how pilots avoid it.

🧭 You’ll learn:

What the Coffin Corner is and why it’s critical at high altitudes

How the stall speed and critical Mach number converge as you climb

Why flying too slow leads to a stall, and too fast causes shock waves and control issues

How commercial and military pilots manage this risk in high-level flight

Real-world examples and why it's especially important in jet aircraft and U-2 spy planes

Perfect for aviation students, pilots in training, and flight enthusiasts eager to learn about the limits of the flight envelope.
