• stalling speed — The basic stalling speed is the speed below which a clean aircraft of stated weight, with the engines throttled back, can no longer maintain a straight and level flight because the wing is stalling. Factors that affect the basic stalling speed… …   Aviation dictionary

• stalling angle — The angle of attack at which the flow of air over the wing begins to separate from the wing surface, resulting in a significant reduction in the lift and an increase in the drag. The lift coefficient of an airfoil is maximum at this angle and… …   Aviation dictionary

• high-speed stall — An accelerated stall where the stalling angle is achieved at a higher than normal stalling speed, as in maneuvers. The new stalling speed under acceleration is equal to the normal stalling speed multiplied by the square root of applied… …   Aviation dictionary

• reference speed — The target speed by airline pilots on short finals. This is referred to as VREF + 5, VREF + 10, or VREF + 15 on various stages of the approach. VREF is factored on the stalling speed (1.3 × VSO ) and so varies with aircraft weight. VSO stands for …   Aviation dictionary

• obstacle-clearance speed — The air speed for the steepest angle of climb in a takeoff configuration. Its value is less than the best rate of climb speed, and it is obtained by actual flight tests. It is usually about 1.1 to 1.2 times the basic stalling speed. It should be… …   Aviation dictionary

• best angle-of-climb speed — The air speed at which an aircraft will gain the greatest amount of altitude for a given distance.
