Note: Flight within the “envelope” is possible
without stalling or damaging the aircraft.
(Safe operating region = inside the box)
Aerodynamic (stall) limit
The aerodynamic limit is a “lift limit”
and occurs where the aircraft stalls
Varies as a function of the square root
of weight and load factor
When stalling while above 1 g, it’s
known as an “accelerated stall”
2nW
Vstall =
ρ ∞ SCLmax
Maximum n available prior to stall
At any point in flight
L = nW = CL ρ SV2/2
Solving for n:
CL ρ S 2
n= V
2W
For a given weight, altitude and aircraft,
max n is
* 2nmaxW
V =
ρ ∞ SC L max
n V *- Corner Velocity
