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).
The RV-9 has a low stall speed, comparable to the Cessna 150, and docile handling suitable for low-time pilots. The cruise speed is a very respectable 167 mph (269 km/h) TAS even with the 118 hp (88 kW) engine.
The leading-edge slats will snap out at about 64 km/h (40 mph) and when the airplane slows to a forward speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph), the airplane will sink at about a parachute descent rate until the aircraft hits the ground." [1] The low stall speed makes it possible for the aircraft to fly backwards relative to the ground under high wind ...
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).
The aircraft uses flaps for glidepath control, which function as airbrakes when set to 45-70 degrees. A ballistic parachute with an area of 62 m 2 (670 sq ft) is also fitted. The aircraft can be rigged for flight by one person in 15 minutes. It has been launched by foot, aero-tow, [5] bungee launch, [6] auto-tow [7] and winch-launch. Typically ...

Flaperons are optional and reduce the stall speed to 27 mph (43 km/h) from 35 mph (56 km/h). [3] [6] The aircraft comes with float fittings welded onto the airframe and can also be operated on skis.
The aircraft is made from carbon fibre. Its 8.78 m (28.8 ft) span wing has an area of 10.18 m 2 (109.6 sq ft) and double slotted flaps to allow a low stall speed . Engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS , the turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 and the 130 hp (97 kW) ULPower UL350iS four-stroke powerplant.
