Propeller slipstream reduces the stall speed by energizing the flow over the wings. [26]: 61 Speed definitions vary and include: V S: Stall speed: the speed at which the airplane exhibits those qualities accepted as defining the stall. [26]: 8 V S0: The stall speed or minimum steady flight speed in landing configuration. [27]
Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable in a specific configuration. [7] [8] V S R: Reference stall speed. [7] V S R 0: Reference stall speed in landing configuration. [7] V S R 1: Reference stall speed in a specific configuration. [7] V SW: Speed at which the stall warning will occur. [7] V TOSS
As stalling is due to wing loading and maximum lift coefficient at a given altitude and speed, this limits the turning radius due to maximum load factor. At Mach 0.85 and 0.7 lift coefficient, a wing loading of 50 lb/sq ft (240 kg/m 2 ) can reach a structural limit of 7.33 g up to 15,000 feet (4,600 m) and then decreases to 2.3 g at 40,000 feet ...
The minimum such speed is the stall speed, or V SO. The indicated airspeed at which a fixed-wing aircraft stalls varies with the weight of the aircraft but does not vary significantly with altitude. At speeds close to the stall speed the aircraft's wings are at a high angle of attack. At higher altitudes, the air density is lower than at sea level.
Stall speed corresponds to the angle of attack at the maximum coefficient of lift (C LMAX) A typical lift coefficient curve for an airfoil at a given airspeed. The lift coefficient of a fixed-wing aircraft varies with angle of attack. Increasing angle of attack is associated with increasing lift coefficient up to the maximum lift coefficient ...
Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2 Table II-5-1-2 Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. [ 1 ] : II-5-1-3 While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.
V A is the design maneuvering speed and is a calibrated airspeed.Maneuvering speed cannot be slower than and need not be greater than V c. [4]If is chosen by the manufacturer to be exactly the aircraft will stall in a nose-up pitching maneuver before the structure is subjected to its limiting aerodynamic load.
The right side of the graph represents the maximum speed of the aircraft. This is typically sloped in the same manner as the stall line due to air resistance getting lower at higher altitudes, up to the point where an increase in altitude no longer increases the maximum speed due to lack of oxygen to feed the engines.
