roll off
- /ˈɹol ˈɔf/ US
verb rolls off · rolling off · rolled off
- To spontaneously roll suddenly and rapidly to one side or the other upon entering a stall (due to one wing stalling slightly before the other does, combined with the reduced effectiveness of ailerons for roll control at high angles of attack). In addition to the large decrease in lift caused by the stall itself, further performance degradation can be expected as the airplane rolls off, as the spoilers on the high wing deploy in an attempt to fight the plane's sudden rolling motion.
- To come off (something) with a rolling motion. My pen rolled off the table.
-
To take (something) off (i.e., remove it) via a rolling motion.
The truck driver rolled off a fresh dumpster and left it sitting at the curb to be filled tomorrow.
Opposite: roll on
- To come from an assembly line. rolled off the line
- To show reduced response at the upper or lower limits of a frequency range. rolled-off highs
