The short answer is that at landing, for the A330 something in the neighborhood of 120 knots (220 km/h / 140 mph ) would be its stall speed, based on a landing speed of 135 knots. ROUGH NUMBERS.

The long answer is that stall speed of any aircraft varies with a bunch of physical quantities, including: Weight (no. of passengers, weight of cargo, amount of fuel on board), density of the air (temperature and atmospheric pressure, humidity?), aircraft configuration (flaps - how far are they extended, maybe even landing gear down or up) and even contamination of the wings - ICING (layer of ice built up on the wings and other surfaces).

All of this can be tested on a model or prototype and put on some complicated graphs and tables. In modern practice, the pilots use the FMC or FMS (Flight Management Computer / System) included in the cockpit or special software on a company laptop to input some of things mentioned above and get a number out for certain speeds, such as the landing speed.

Of course they could look in the graphs / tables and do it that way, and when these are put in an operating manual (I imagine as opposed to pure engineering documents), these can come with instructions on how to decide on the right speeds - it gets to be kinda like doing taxes, where 'if line 83 is less than 1.8 times line 54 please add line 5 to the number of donuts you had this morning' but it's all with safety in mind.

Btw all these speeds are relative to the air, not the ground - which is why a sudden change in the wind can bring an aircraft closer to stalling.

And in any aircraft, there will be something to yell at you when you get too close to the stall speed - this probably uses some other measurement, instead of looking at speed and figuring it out from there.

What is the stall speed of a 777?

The stall speed of an aircraft depends on its altitude, weight, configuration, and lateral and vertical acceleration. The stall speed for a 777 is dependent on these real-time factors.

I am not 100% sure but i think the stall speed of the F-15 eagle is around 500km\h I also saw a documentary that says the stall speed is 530km\h


What is the stall speed of an airplane under a load factor of 4 if the unaccelerated stall speed is 70 knots?

The stall speed of an airplane is inversely proportional to the square root of the load factor. Therefore, with a load factor of 4, the stall speed would be 35 knots (70 knots / √4).

What is the stall speed of a Cessna 172?

In landing configuration (full flaps), the stall speed is 40 knots (indicated airspeed). With flaps up it is 48 knots.


What is the Stall speed of a Boeing C 17?

The stall speed is classified so it's not publicly available. But it is incredibly low - less than 100 mph.


What is the stall speed of a landing Boeing 777 after a 10 hour scheduled flight with about 303 souls on board?

Typically, an approach is flown at about 15% greater than stall speed. If the target approach speed of the crashed Asiana flight is publiscized at 137 knots, then its stall speed would be about 120 knots (or about 138 mph).


Relation between aspect ratio and stalling speed?

wings with smaller aspect ratio stall at higher angle of attack .. and wings with larger aspect ratio stall at a lower angle of attack ... stall can take place at any air speed but only a specific angle of attack.. my view says aspect ratio has no relation to stall speed.


What can cause the car to stall when running the ac?

An engine usually has a higher idle speed when the ac is running. If the high speed idle does not operate then the ac will cause the engine to stall.
