What is the minimum maneuver speed of a 737?
What is the minimum maneuver speed of a 737? So a heavy B-737-400, e.g., 119,000 pounds, has a minimum maneuvering speed of 180 knots, at flaps 10?. To fly any slower would require that the landing gear be extended prior to any flap setting greater than 10? of flap being selected (or the gear warning sounds continuously and cannot be silenced).
What is the minimum flight speed for a Boeing 747?
In order for a plane to take off, it must be going fast enough for the wings to generate enough lift to overcome the force of weight. A Boeing 747 under standard conditions must be going 296kph (184 mph) to take off. Additionally, weather factors can affect the ground speed need for takeoff.
What is the minimum speed for a plane to fly?
Technically this is the so-called 'stall speed', where air passes over the wings fast enough to sustain altitude, and for small planes this can be less than 50km/h (31mph). But at such low speeds, the aircraft is easily destabilised, and could fail to leave the runway.
At what speed will flaps auto retract A320?
(1) When in Configuration 1 + F, the flaps retract to 0 ° automatically at 210 kt (before the airspeed reaches VFE).
How long can a 737 fly without engines?
A Boeing 737 has a glide ratio of about 19.5:1(Dependent on how much fuel/cargo onboard) so at 30 000 feet, you could glide for approximately 110 miles until you reach sea level. Airliners are made to be VERY efficient. So keep the aircraft moving using as little power(fuel) as possible makes for a very nice glider.
