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 Van's RV-12 is an American two-seat, single-engine, low-wing homebuilt airplane eligible for the U.S. E-LSA category, sold in kit form and as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft by Van's Aircraft of Aurora, Oregon. [4] [5] The first RV-12, built by Richard VanGrunsven, at Oshkosh 2008. The RV-12 had its first flight on November 9, 2006. [3]
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 Lightning was developed by designers Pete Krotje, Ben Krotje and Nick Otterback. [2]Originally designed as a high speed, low wing composite aircraft for the Jabiru series of engines, the LS-1 was redesigned to meet American light-sport requirements by extending the wings to lower the stall speed and using a fixed pitch propeller.
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.
The Archaeopteryx was conceived as a foot-launchable [4] microlift sailplane, with the design goals of a light empty weight, low stall speed with gentle stall characteristics, good maneuverability and good high speed performance. A further goal was a sailplane that could be foot-launched in zero wind conditions.
The VL-3 Evolution also called the Aveko VL-3 Sprint is a Czech ultralight aircraft, designed and initially produced by Aveko of Brno. The design is now produced by JMB Aircraft of Choceň.
