| Oct 17, 2017 at 17:48 | comment | added | Owen | does ground effect come in to play for landing scenarios? | |
| Oct 17, 2017 at 12:15 | comment | added | J... | @Marius Page 130 of the linked flight manual ;) | |
| Oct 17, 2017 at 12:15 | comment | added | J... | 113kts... which is still 30% over the original vision of a sub 100mph (<87kts) landing speed. This is also engine-off (idle) stall speed. A powered stall could be much slower at high AoA but certainly more of a stunt than standard landing procedure. The same manual gives standard approach as 130KIAS with the nose falling through at 90KIAS on rollout, so the <100mph landing speed was really just an initial concept, not really what ended up being practical. The flight manual also suggests to go around at >105KIAS with 4000ft runway remaining, so not exactly a short lander... | |
| Oct 17, 2017 at 12:14 | comment | added | Marius | For completeness, since 133 kts is ~130 mph and Wiki is saying that the Navy asked for an airplane with a 100 mph stall speed, do you have another page from the manual that gives landing speeds? Or just a reason why the Navy let up on that criteria? | |

included one example from the chart, since the image may be difficult to read for some readers
