In view of that, it hardly mattered that flight tests showed that some of the performance estimates were optimistic : maximum speed was 5 % less and the stalling speed higher.
32.
Its stalling speeds and turn radius was smaller than that of the ASW 20, good for weak thermals, but was perhaps rather poorer than the ASW in the fast glide.
33.
The smaller span raised the maximum speed from 110 km / h ( 68 mph ) to 130 km / h ( 81 mph ), but also increased stalling speed and landing run.
34.
This means that the stalling angle of attack is never exceeded, and it is possible ( in the < 1g section of the cycle ) to fly at speeds below the known stalling speed.
35.
If the next hour involved a " crawl " back over navigation tracks, conceivably, Amelia would have reduced speed to above stalling speed : 65 kts / 120 km / h ( clean ).
36.
It was not without problems; one was excessive wear of the arrester wires, due both to the weight of the Corsair and the understandable tendency of the pilots to stay well above the stalling speed.
37.
Performance was similar, with identical maximum speeds; the lighter ED . 5 had a 5 km / h ( 3 mph ) lower stalling speed but a 55 km ( 35 mi ) shorter range.
38.
An aircraft's stalling speed is published by the manufacturer ( and is required for certification by flight testing ) for a range of weights and flap positions, but the stalling angle of attack is not published.
39.
The hydraulically actuated flaps increased the wing area to 177 square feet ( an increase of 35 % ), lowering the wing loading and stalling speed ( 37 knots ), allowing the desired tight circling when thermalling.
40.
The ` ohaj is an all wood framed aircraft, covered in a mixture of plywood and Fowler type, alterations which improved the glide angle, reduced the stalling speed and, through the increased wing loading, raised the maximum cross country speed between thermals.
