Relationship of Vmc and stall speed?

(I'm sorry for editing this. The answer that was here couldn't have been more wrong. Short answer: Stall speed REMAINS THE SAME with the change of altitude but Vmc DECREASES with an increase in altitude. So at a higher altitude Vmc decreases and can be LOWER than Vs(stall speed) (AFH Figure 12-21) and adversely, as we descend, Vmc increases and can be higher than Vs at a lower altitude. Long answer: Airplane Flying Handbook chapter 12. -Daniel S. Murrill


What is the stall speed of a 777?

The stall speed of an aircraft depends on its altitude, weight, configuration, and lateral and vertical acceleration. The stall speed for a 777 is dependent on these real-time factors.


Why helicopter speed reduce as increase altitude?

Because as you increase altitude, the density of air decreases. To compensate for the decreased air density the rotor blades need a greater angle of attack, pushing the retreating blade closer to stall(reducing the maximum airspeed)


What is the stall speed of a 747 with flaps down?

At altitude hold trim, about 140 knots (about 160 mph.)


Why as density altitude increase reduce speed of helicopter?

To compensate for the decreased air density the rotor blades need a greater angle of attack, pushing the retreating blade closer to stall(reducing the maximum airspeed)


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 purposes of the slats and flaps of an airplane's wings?

Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.


What is the stall speed of an airbus a330 at cruising altitude of 38000 feet?

Vstall of an Airbus 330 varies with weight however, at 38000 feet that speed could be close to 200 KTS indicated.


What does stall mean in a game called flight in armor games?

Stall means your airplane is flying too slowly. You must either lower the nose (losing altitude, but increasing speed) or use a booster, thruster, star, crane, etc to speed up. If you don't, your plane will proceed to fall like a rock.


Will the speed of an aeroplane be same which is flying at different altitudes and have same mach number 2?

no mach no is defined as ratio of local speed of aeroplane to speed of sound. As the altitude increases the True speed of aeroplane increases and speed of sound decreases because of reduction of ambient temperature Hence the value of their ratio should increase at an increasing rate with increase in altitude. Keeping the Mach No constant say, 2 means reduction of speed to a large extent so as to maintain constant Mach No. Therefore same Mach no the aeroplane at higher altitude is flying slower


What is the stall speed of the f-15?

I am not 100% sure but i think the stall speed of the F-15 eagle is around 500km\h I also saw a documentary that says the stall speed is 530km\h


Why does ozone increase at low altitude?

Ozone increase at low altitude. It also becomes a pollutant.
