VS1 Speed Calculator
Compute the clean-configuration stall speed as 1.15 times the reference stall speed.
Description
Compute the clean-configuration stall speed as 1.15 times the reference stall speed.
VS1 Speed Calculator: Compute the clean-configuration stall speed as 1.15 times the reference stall speed.
When to use VS1 Speed
Use this calculator for flight-planning study or a first-pass cross-check when all inputs describe the same aircraft, atmospheric condition, and phase of flight.
- Reference stall speed (kt)
- Reference stall speed of the aircraft.
How VS1 Speed works
Compute the clean-configuration stall speed as 1.15 times the reference stall speed. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- VS1 (kt)
- Clean-configuration stall speed.
Limitations and assumptions
- Do not use a generic calculator in place of the current aircraft flight manual, approved performance data, operating limitations, NOTAMs, weather, or regulations. Real performance changes with configuration, runway condition, altitude, temperature, wind, loading, and technique.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Cross-check the result against the aircraft flight manual or approved planning system, then apply the required safety margins. Keep signed wind, heading, altitude, speed, and fuel conventions explicit.
