Landing airspeed #11599

Open ryanjAA opened 5 years ago

ryanjAA commented 5 years ago

We need a landing airspeed that can be below TECS min speed. It simply doesn’t make sense to keep stall speed/min speed the same as landing speed when you can deploy flaps which lower your minimum speed.

We started looking at autonomous landings quantitatively and then looked at manual landings and every dataset of ours we looked at (which consists of several plane types) showed that optimal landing occurred at a lower speed than the min speed set so this is a big hinderenace on FW flight.

TECS stall speed kicks in (as it should) if you go below min speed so landing speed should exist from exit tangent loiter to ground. No other place.
