Content: The lowest speed a fighter jet can attain during controlled flight, typically ranges from 100knots to 200knots depending upon the design and other flight. Some of these design elements include parameters such as the angle of attack, the load factor, and the altitude. It is important to note that the stall speed of a fighter jet is not a fixed value, it continuously varies during a flight depending on the flight parameters, primarily, the angle of attack. To understand how slow an aircraft can fly, we must look at what keeps an aircraft airborne in the first place, the wings, that generate lift. If at any point during a flight, the wings stop generating adequate lift, the aircraft may go into a freefall. Let us see what determines the minimum possible speed of an aircraft! Table of Contents
