A soft landing in the business cycle is the process of an economy shifting from growth to slow-growth to potentially flat, as it approaches but avoids a recession. It is usually caused by government attempts to slow down inflation. [1] The criteria for distinguishing between a hard and soft landing are numerous and subjective.
The aggressive fight against inflation by the Federal Reserve has heightened the risk of a downturn that could put millions out of work. Last month, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said he sees a path to ...
A soft landing is any type of aircraft, rocket or spacecraft landing that does not result in significant damage to or destruction of the vehicle or its payload, as opposed to a hard landing. The average vertical speed in a soft landing should be about 2 meters (6.6 ft) per second or less.
The concept itself does not have a hard definition. And historical studies of past Fed tightening cycles reveal that soft landings require a rare combination of just-so "Goldilocks" conditions and ...
San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly said Tuesday the Federal Reserve is "resolute" in its quest to achieve a soft landing, making it clear the central bank intends to do what it takes to avoid a ...
Sky crane is a soft landing system used in the last part of the entry, descent and landing (EDL) sequence developed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory for its two largest Mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance.

Investors are now pricing in a rosy soft landing scenario for the U.S. economy after years of recession fears, but that has led valuations to soar, making stocks look riskier.
When landing from an autorotation, the kinetic energy stored in the rotating blades and the forward movement of the aircraft are used to decrease the rate of descent and make a soft landing. A greater amount of rotor energy is required to stop a helicopter with a high rate of descent than is required to stop a helicopter that is descending more ...
