Content: Therefore, during several flight tests, a fighter jet is intentionally stalled to check its minimum speed requirements for level flight as well as stall recovery techniques. Also, during the training of fighter pilots, it is common that the instructor intentionally puts the plane into a stall so that the trainee can learn recovery techniques that provide much-needed confidence for when is he is faced with these conditions during combat. Putting an aircraft into a stall is not risk-free and requires an elevated level of concentration to regain control over the aircraft. As the stall limits of aircraft for a steady flight are calculated during its design, you might wonder what the typical stall speed is! What are the typical stall speeds of modern fighter jets? stall speed? An aircraft is designed keeping in view its intended combat role (s). For example, the combat roles of an F-22 ‘Raptor’ and an A-10’Warthog’ are different. It can be assumed that a Close Air Support aircraft like that A-10 ‘Warthog’ requires a lower stall speed for its missions. The stall speeds of modern fighter jets vary greatly depending upon several factors such as the weight of payload and temperature.
