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).

Why more lift is required when landing?

During landing, the purpose is to slow down the aircraft's ground speed as slow as you can without it stalling. You want to maintain Lift, not necessarily get more lift. At higher speeds, the aircraft has plenty of Lift. However during landing, the speed is slower and the angle of attack is increased to provide more Lift at lower speeds.


What is airplane landing speed?

The landing speed of an airplane can vary depending on factors such as the type of aircraft, its weight, weather conditions, and runway length. On average, commercial airplanes typically land at speeds ranging from 130 to 160 knots (150 to 185 mph). The pilot will adjust the speed and approach angle to ensure a safe landing.


Why do aeroplane takes wheels inside when flying?

The landing gear is retracted after take-off. This is because, when the plane is flying at great speed the landing gear produces a lot of drag. This slows the plane down. So the landing gears are retracted.


How does the size of parachute effect on its landing?

A larger parachute will create more air resistance, slowing down the descent and leading to a softer landing. A smaller parachute will fall faster and may result in a rougher landing due to the increased speed. The size of the parachute should be chosen based on the weight of the object being descended and the desired landing conditions.


What is the approach speed of a C-17?

The approach speed of a C-17 Globemaster III typically ranges from 130 to 140 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) depending on the aircraft's weight. This speed allows for a safe and controlled landing on the runway.

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.


How fast does an airliner fly when it's landing?

An approach (landing) speed is determined by the type of plane, weight, weather and the condition of the runway. A heavy 747-400 might have a landing speed of 160 KIAS (knots indicated air speed) or about 185 mph.
