Absolute minimum rotation speed

Are there scenarios where the start of rotation could intentionally occur at or below stall speed, say for extreme STOL operation (e.g., bush pilots)? I'm especially curious if it would be important...

Vd Dive Speed -- Overspeed Protection?

I'm hoping someone could shed more light on how the FAA handles overspeed/autothrottle protection (e.g., wrt FAR Part § 23.335) in determining Vd (design dive speed).

As I read these regs, and I'm...

FAA/EASA -- FBW with neutral static stability

I'm curious whether the regulators would allow a future FBW aircraft to be certified with close to neutral longitudinal static stability under all flight modes. I understand they have allowed...

Dihedral with FBW - spiral stability /wingtip strike angle vs divergent Dutch Roll

I'm curious what design priority pilots would prefer with a FBW system, with respect to tuning the wing dihedral of the aircraft. Of course, with more dihedral comes worse Dutch Roll but better...
