Designed to prevent or reduce stalling, such as an engine stopping unexpectedly or an aircraft losing lift.
From anti- + stalling (the act of stopping or losing momentum). This technical term is used in aviation and automotive engineering.
Antistalling devices in aircraft are literally lifesavers—when a plane's nose tilts up too steeply and the wings lose lift (a stall), antistalling systems automatically drop the nose to recover—pilots hate stalls because they can be unrecoverable at low altitude.
