Functions
Stall Velocity
Stall Velocity is defined as the velocity of an airplane in steady flight at its maximum lift coefficient.
Symbol: Vstall
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Weight
Weight Newton is a vector quantity and defined as the product of mass and acceleration acting on that mass.
Symbol: W
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Freestream Density
Freestream density is the mass per unit volume of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body at a given altitude.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Reference Area
The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.

How to Evaluate Stall velocity for given weight?

Stall velocity for given weight evaluator uses Stall Velocity = sqrt((2*Weight)/(Freestream Density*Reference Area*Maximum Lift Coefficient)) to evaluate the Stall Velocity, Stall Velocity for Given Weight is a measure of the airspeed at which an aircraft wing stalls, calculated as a function of weight, free stream density, reference area, and maximum lift coefficient, providing a critical velocity threshold for safe flight operations. Stall Velocity is denoted by Vstall symbol.
