====Stick shaker==== {{Main|Stick shaker}} A [[stick shaker]] is a device that is attached to the control column in some hydraulic aircraft. It shakes the control column when the aircraft is approaching [[Stall (fluid dynamics)|stall]] conditions. Some aircraft such as the [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10]] are equipped with a back-up electrical power supply that can be activated to enable the stick shaker in case of hydraulic failure.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Daniels|first=Taumi|title=Regarding Pilot Usage of Display Technologies for Improving Awareness of Aircraft System States|url=https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20200002619/downloads/20200002619.pdf|journal=NASA Langley Research Center}}</ref>
