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]
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 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 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.
Coffin corner (also known as the aerodynamic ceiling [1] or Q corner) is the region of flight where a fast but subsonic fixed-wing aircraft's stall speed is near the critical Mach number, making it very difficult to keep an airplane in stable flight. Because the stall speed is the minimum speed required to maintain level flight, any reduction ...
First flight October 16, 1996 () Produced 1995–present ... converting the aircraft from motor glider to sport cruiser in minutes. ... Stall speed: 66 km/h (41 mph, ...
V A is the design maneuvering speed and is a calibrated airspeed.Maneuvering speed cannot be slower than and need not be greater than V c. [4]If is chosen by the manufacturer to be exactly the aircraft will stall in a nose-up pitching maneuver before the structure is subjected to its limiting aerodynamic load.
A V-n diagram showing V S (stall speed at 1G), V C (corner/maneuver speed) and V D (dive speed) A chart of velocity versus load factor (or V-n diagram) is another way of showing limits of aircraft performance. It shows how much load factor can be safely achieved at different airspeeds. [3]
