Isreali Mirage fighters found it very hard to hit MiGs as the lower stalling speed of the MiGs allowed them to come down to low altitudes and jink about.
22.
The " dirty'stalling speed of a MiG29 is thought to be about 230 km / hr whereas the Fokker DR1 triplane stalled at 72 km / hr.
23.
In Europe the sporting ( FAI ) definition limits the maximum take-off weight to ( if a ballistic parachute is installed ) and a maximum stalling speed of.
24.
Therefore, the wing design of the Series 10 featured airfoils with extremely high maximum lift capability in order to obtain the low stalling speeds necessary for short field performance.
25.
The lift coefficient with the wing at this setting was 3.9 ( double that of conventional and contemporary aircraft ), giving a stalling speed of 57 knots.
26.
The lower ends of the green arc and the white arc are the stalling speed with wing flaps retracted, and stalling speed with wing flaps fully extended, respectively.
27.
The lower ends of the green arc and the white arc are the stalling speed with wing flaps retracted, and stalling speed with wing flaps fully extended, respectively.
28.
This allows both improved manoeuvrability and lower stalling speeds, but the presence of the foreplane can increase drag at supersonic speeds and hence reduce the aircraft's maximum speed.
29.
However the high loading of the wing resulted in a high stalling speed with marginal take-off and landing characteristics and a corresponding high level of takeoff and landing accidents.
30.
With these flaps fitted it was tested at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, which found that the Gouge flap decreased distance to take-off and stalling speed, among other improvements.
