Does anyone know the slowest flying airplane designed? Seen the takeoff and landing figures for some planes like the storch, but it seems they focus on takeoff and landing.
Sitting outback and watching the hawks and kites hunt mice in the alfalfa and wodering if there are any airplanes that fly like this? 5, 10 or 15 mph and 10 or 20 feet above the ground in calm still air. I guess similar to a hang glider but without relying on the thermals or wind on the face of a cliff. Not interested in a heli or gyro but a small self powered extremely light and slow aircraft.
