This model had a longer wing, giving it a lower landing speed. The name was a play on the name of a popular model of Cessna, the Cessna 172 , the idea being it is one better. Some flying Velocity planes experienced "deep stall" incidents, where the main wing stalled before the canard, causing an unrecoverable stall.
Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2 Table II-5-1-2 Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. [ 1 ] : II-5-1-3 While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.
