It's not tested. Aircraft always are requried to land with full flaps.
Having been through a flaps up landing on a brand new 737-800, I seem to remember that the pilot said that we landed at around 180 knots. One of the computers malfunctioned and did not let the pilot engage the flaps.

What is the stall speed of a Cessna 172?
In landing configuration (full flaps), the stall speed is 40 knots (indicated airspeed). With flaps up it is 48 knots.
What is the stall speed of a Boeing 737 airplane?
The stall speed depends on the model, weight and configuration of the 737. The stall speed with full flaps and gear down for a Boeing 737-800 is :140,000 lbs 146 KIAS, 120,000 lbs 135 KIAS and 100,000 pounds 123 KIAS. At higher weight and with the flaps up the stall speed is higher. KIAS is an abbreviation for "knots indicated air speed", the indicated air speed is linked to air pressure and temperature, so at a hot and high altitude airfield the same KIAS is a much higher true air speed. So the aircraft stalls at a higher true air speed at higher altitude, but the indicated airspeed remains the same.
What are the flaps on an airplane used for?
The flaps on an airplane are there for two reasons: Drag and lift. As an airplane lines up with the runway and descends, it must slow down. Several things are done to slow down, such as throttle the engines down and lower the gear. However is some airplanes, to slow down and remain slow they must extend the flaps. These cause extra drag, which slows the airplane down. They are usually extended in increments while on approach. The second reason is for lift. As an airplane get slower, the wings get less and less effective, and once it gets slow enough, it may stall. To prevent a stall, airplanes lower flaps. These redirect air downward, pushing the airplane up. This allows it to fly slower, past its "clean" stall speed. (Clean stall speed refers to an airplane's stall speed with no flaps or landing gear extended) Some airplanes can fly nearly 100 knots slower with full flaps. The stall speed with full flaps and landing gear extended is known as "dirty" or "landing configuration" stall speed. This is much slower than "clean" stall speed.
What is function of TE flap in aircraft?
The function of flaps and slats on a plane are simple but important. While landing and taking off the flaps are down so the plane lift increase and the plane can maintain flight with lower air speeds. While cruse altitude flaps are in to reduce drag, safe fuel and the chance to speed up.
Speed of Boeing 737?
The Boeing 737 series can fly speeds up to 890 kilometers per hour. Other Boeing models can fly speed up to 910 kilometers per hour.
What would be the speed of a flight while landing?
It all depends upon the type of aircraft, the weight of the particular aircraft, the altitude of the runway and the temperature. For example, a little Cessna 150 with full flaps extended does a full stall landing at about 45 MPH at zero altitude and 60 degrees. With the flaps up, it is faster by about 10 MPH. At 5000 feet on a hot day in Denver Colorado, it would be a lot faster .... maybe 70 MPH. A lightly loaded jetliner at sea level on a not very hot day with full slats and flaps down will go over the numbers at about 150 KPH (ABOUT 160 mph). So, there are no absolute numbers but in practice, the landing speed picked by the pilot will be the lowest speed available over the stalling speed ( with a 10% or so cushion) based upon the aircraft with a reasonable angle of attack and full flaps and gear extended.
What is landing of airplane?
Landing an airplane is difficult. For more aircraft question feel welcome to email me at denisrunescape@lycos.com Only aircraft questions please. I am a pilot. Ok to land a plane the speed level brake and flaps must be on 0% position The plane will slowly descend down while your goal is to stay into the air. When you reached the runway Your speed should be around 70 knots. Lift the nose up while the wing flaps are down. The plane will slowly descend down and there is your first landing
What is the landing speed of a b-52?
At 225,000 lbs GW full flaps and airbrake in position two, roll out onto final at 800 AGL minimum and 133 KIAS, plan to touch down at 110 KIAS with air brake full up.
What of the speed of a landing gear wheel during landing?
Most wheels are not "spun up" prior to landing, and go from zero rpm to that of the plane's touchdown speed almost immediately upon contact with the ground.
Is a 737-700 a narrow body aircraft?
All 737 aircraft are narrow bodies, from the 737-100 (the first 737) up to 737-900 (the latest 737).
What will be the speed of the plane while take off and landing?
Varies considerably due to size, engines type weight act . However, the smallest plane is 70 knots and something like a 737 is 150 average Takeoff and landing speeds depend on aircraft weight, airfoil, airfoil configuration, and air density. They can vary from zero knots (VTOL) on up to 200 plus knots.
What heats up when the brake flaps of a plane are pushed down?
Not sure what you mean by "brake flaps". Flaps were control surfaces on the wings the drop down to give the aircraft more lift at slower speeds. They do NOT heat up. Spoilers or also "Speed brakes" are flight controls on top of the wing that pop UP to disrupt the air flow and allows the plane to stop flying and slows it down during landing. They do NOT heat up. Brakes are part of the landing gear and wheels and stops the plane much like car brakes do. The crew does not push down on any controls but push down on the rudder pedals with their feet---again, much like a car. The Brakes head up by friction of the discs and rotors rubbing together to slow down the rotation of the wheel.
