Most aircraft have different landing angels dependent on weight, wing shape and stalling speed.
A Clean Stall is happens in the aircrafts normal cruise configuration. A Dirty Stall is occurs in the landing configuration, landing gear, slats, flaps in the landing position.
Depending on the configuration, about 135 knots, or about 155 Miles Per Hour.
Aircraft configuration can mean either the state of the flaps and landing gear or the layout of the cabin.
The average landing speed varies, dependent on the configuration and weight of the aircraft. Specifications call for 155 MPH, 135 Knots or 250 KPH.
When slats are open on a wing, they increase the wing's maximum lift coefficient by allowing for smoother airflow over the wing at higher angles of attack. This modification effectively raises the stalling angle, meaning the wing can reach a higher angle of attack before stalling. Consequently, the stalling speed is also decreased, allowing the aircraft to maintain controlled flight at lower speeds without experiencing a stall. Overall, slats enhance the wing's performance during critical phases of flight, such as takeoff and landing.
All commercial (heavy) aircraft have a range of landing speeds which vary according to landing weight and configuration (flap setting). The normal range for the 747 for various weights and flap settings is around 130 to 160 kts.
The landing weight of an Airbus A380 typically ranges from about 540,000 to 650,000 pounds (approximately 244,000 to 295,000 kilograms), depending on the specific configuration and load at the time of landing. This weight considers factors such as passenger count, cargo, and fuel. The maximum landing weight for the A380 is officially set at 803,000 pounds (approximately 365,000 kilograms).
Before setting up for landing pilots follow checklists. The pilot puts the aircraft in a landing configuration. To accomplish this, the throttle is set and the flaps are set to keep the right rate of descent and glide slope all the way down to the runway. On landing configuration It is very normal for pilots to use power to gain or lose altitude and trade altitude for airspeed. Prior to landing the pilot makes one final check to make sure the aircraft is ready to land, specifically the landing gear down. This is all done while listening to air traffic control and following approach plates.
The landing speed of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules typically ranges from 100 to 120 knots (about 115 to 138 mph or 185 to 222 km/h), depending on factors such as weight, configuration, and environmental conditions. Pilots adjust the approach speed based on these variables to ensure a safe landing.
The landing speed of a C-130 Hercules aircraft varies depending on factors such as weight, configuration, and conditions. Typically, a C-130 lands at speeds ranging from 100 to 130 knots (115 to 150 mph).
The landing speed of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 typically ranges from 130 to 150 knots, depending on the aircraft's weight, configuration, and environmental conditions. Pilots calculate the exact landing speed using specific parameters such as landing weight and flap settings. It's crucial for safe landings that pilots adhere to these speeds to ensure optimal performance during approach and touchdown.
