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]
The RV-9 was designed from the start as a two-place, side-by-side, touring aircraft and as such it forgoes the aerobatic capabilities and the lighter handling for more stability and economy. As such the design horsepower is 118–160 and the prototype was flown with a Lycoming O-235 powerplant of 118 hp (88 kW) as a proof-of-concept for the ...
The plans consists of 29 sheets of blueprints, a 50-page construction manual and a 20-page flight manual, available in both English and German. The plans cost €350 and a completed aircraft is estimated to cost €8000. [2] [4] The aircraft has very benign stall characteristics, resulting in a controllable slow speed mush condition. [2]
This enabled the new canard to be designed with less span, reducing wetted area and thus drag. The new canard has a negligible rain trim, and rain adds only 2 knots to the stall speed. The aircraft is designed for fuel-efficient long-range flight, with a range of just over 2,000 miles (3,200 km). [5]
