Hi guys, working on a concept at the moment which utilizes a degree of powered lift.
In sizing, i can theoretically make the main wing very small, however it got me thinking about worst case scenarios.

Lets say flaps jammed closed and no power...what speed would you consider safe for landing? I'm currently looking at around 60 kts for quite a small single seater which would keep the geometry within my goals.

Thanks
