LOOP News![]() 12 JUL 06: JAVELIN UPGRADESATG, the Colorado company developing the two-seat military and personal jet says the wingspan is being increased by 1.85ft and the wing area by 29 sq ft to achieve a lower stall speed. The wings are also being fitted with Fowler flaps and leading edge flaps. Aerodynamicists expect these wing improvements to yield a 5 to 7 knot decrease in stall speed, lowering Javelin’s stall speed to 90 knots. “ATG has always emphasised safety as a priority,” said Charlie Johnson, president of ATG. “A lower stall speed provides an extra margin of safety during the critical takeoff and landing phases.” W: www.avtechgroup.com | |||||||
