    The lowest NOE flying is by helicopters because they have lower speeds and more maneuverability than fixed-wing aircraft, particularly fast jets. Helicopters can fly at treetop levels or even below the height of surrounding trees where there are clear areas (such as in river gullies), [ 1 ] flying under wires (such as electricity cables) rather ...

    The Ruppert Archaeopteryx has a certified stall speed of 30–39 kilometres per hour (19–24 mph). [3] The Vought XF5U can fly as slow as 32 kilometres per hour (20 mph). [4] The Tapanee Pegazair-100 stall speed is 45 kilometres per hour (28 mph). The Zenith STOL CH 701 and ICP Savannah both have stall speeds of 48 kilometres per hour (30 mph).

  4. True airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_airspeed

    Here the speed is displayed both in knots (kn) and miles per hour (mph). The true airspeed (TAS; also KTAS, for knots true airspeed) of an aircraft is the speed of the aircraft relative to the air mass through which it is flying. The true airspeed is important information for accurate navigation of an aircraft.

  5. Drag curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_curve

    The low speed region of flight is known as the "back of the power curve" or "behind the power curve" [7] [8] (sometimes "back of the drag curve") where more thrust is required to sustain flight at lower speeds. It is an inefficient region of flight because a decrease in speed requires increased thrust and a resultant increase in fuel consumption.
