I have been trying to follow the aerodynamics but my head hurts, can anybody check my understanding and questions:
• The airlander is heavier than air
• It takes off by vectored thrust (like a Harrier?)
• Once airborne, it transitions to forward airspeed which creates lift over the body keeping it airborne.
Questions:
1. If it slows down sufficiently will it actually stall or simply sink; or are they the same thing?
2. If the above answer is stall, does it therefore have a minimum airspeed? If so what do you think it would be? Obviously I assume it depends upon weight and CG etc but a ball-park figure.
