  2. List of slowest fixed-wing aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slowest_fixed-wing...

    The British Auster WW2 reconnaissance aircraft had a placarded stall speed of 24 knots (44 km/h; 28 mph), [5] but that was merely the speed at which its control surfaces lost authority. As reported in many personal accounts by the pilots in their memoirs, the speed at which the aircraft would actually stall was 24 miles per hour (39 km/h).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-52

    The Yak-52's low stall speed allows the plane to pursue drones and carry out maneuvers at slower speeds, ... Stall speed: 85–90 km/h (53–56 mph, 46–49 kn) ...

  4. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

    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]

  5. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    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

    The configuration was designed to create a low aspect ratio aircraft with low takeoff and landing speeds but high top speed. [2] The aircraft was designed to keep the low stall speed and high angle of attack from the V-173 prototype while providing for better pilot visibility, cockpit comfort, less vibration, and provisions to install armament ...

    The Edgley EA-7 Optica is a British light aircraft designed for low-speed observation work, and intended as a low-cost alternative to helicopters.The Optica has a loiter speed of 130 km/h (70 kn; 81 mph) and a stall speed of 108 km/h (58 kn; 67 mph).

  8. Wing loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_loading

    The Monarch Butterfly has a very low 0.168 kg/m 2 wing loading The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 has a high 837 kg/m 2 maximum wing loading. In aerodynamics, wing loading is the total weight of an aircraft or flying animal divided by the area of its wing.

  9. Leading-edge slot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_slot

    A leading-edge slot on a STOL aircraft. A leading-edge slot is a fixed aerodynamic feature of the wing of some aircraft to reduce the stall speed and promote good low-speed handling qualities. A leading-edge slot is a spanwise gap in each wing, allowing air to flow from below the wing to its upper surface.
