    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    The Cessna 172 is a four-seat aircraft. At maximum weight it has a V Y of 75 kn (139 km/h) indicated airspeed [ 4 ] providing a rate of climb of 721 ft/min (3.66 m/s). Rate of climb at maximum power for a small aircraft is typically specified in its normal operating procedures but for large jet airliners it is usually mentioned in emergency ...

    The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. [2] First flown in 1955, [2] more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. [3] It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170 but with tricycle landing gear rather than conventional landing gear.

    Descent was controlled through the use of the vertical-speed wheel of the autopilot combined with an altitude preselect (which illuminated a light when reaching preselected altitudes) in manual mode. While retaining use of the autopilot, the pilots reduced their speed to 160 knots (300 km/h; 180 mph) at the request of air traffic control at 19:07.

    Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable. [7] [8] [9] V S 0: Stall speed or minimum flight speed in landing configuration. [7] [8] [9] V S 1: 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 ...

  7. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    Choosing any particular set of parameters will generate the needed power for a particular aircraft for those conditions. For instance a Cessna 150 at 2,500-foot (760 m) altitude and 90-mile-per-hour (140 km/h) speed needs about 60 horsepower (45 kW) to fly straight and level. The C150 is normally equipped with a 100-horsepower (75 kW) engine ...

  8. Lift-to-drag ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-to-drag_ratio

    For any given value of lift, the AoA varies with speed. Graphs of C L and C D vs. speed are referred to as drag curves. Speed is shown increasing from left to right. The lift/drag ratio is given by the slope from the origin to some point on the curve and so the maximum L/D ratio does not occur at the point of least drag coefficient, the ...

  9. Takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeoff

    A headwind will reduce the ground speed needed for takeoff, as there is a greater flow of air over the wings. Typical takeoff air speeds for jetliners are in the range of 240–285 km/h (130–154 kn; 149–177 mph). Light aircraft, such as a Cessna 150, take off at around 100 km/h (54 kn; 62 mph). Ultralights have even lower takeoff speeds.
