What is the Learjet 45 stall speed?

Answer 1

Learjets do not have stall speeds, per se. There are stall warning devices that trigger various combinations of warning lights and stick shakers, and in some models, a stick pusher to force the nose down. Certain models, the 45 being one, have airfoils attached to the tail that force the nose down from excessive angles of attack. They are called "Delta fin strakes". All of this being said one can force a Learjet to enter a stall condition somewhere in the vicinity of 103 knots, depending on the model. The test pilots do this to make sure that the actual stall characteristics meet the safety standard. Ordinary Lear pilots fly the aircraft with strict adherence to the required speeds for the various phases of flight, take-off, cruise, approach, etc. This assures that the aircraft will never be closer to the stall speed than 30% above it.
