Re: Airlanders for Scottish Highlands and Islands...?
What is the speed at which Airlanders 'cruise' (compared to the Islanders)?
Re: Airlanders for Scottish Highlands and Islands...?
Top 'declared' speed 70kts........................
Re: Airlanders for Scottish Highlands and Islands...?
The maximum and cruise speeds of the Islander aircraft are 273km/h and 257km/h respectively. The stall speed is 64km/h.
Re: Airlanders for Scottish Highlands and Islands...?
Did you want the stall speed of the Airlander?
