What Does VS Stand For?
VS stands for Stall Speed
VS, or Stall Speed, refers to the minimum speed at which an aircraft can maintain level flight without stalling. It is a critical parameter in aviation, as flying below this speed can result in a loss of lift and control. Stall speed varies based on several factors, including aircraft weight, configuration, and environmental conditions. Understanding and adhering to stall speed is essential for safe flying practices and performance planning.
