Stall

Stall, or "stall speed", is the minimum speed (in yards/second) a flying vehicle must move in order to stay aloft. A stall of 0 means the vehicle can hover, such as an airship, STOVL, or flying car.

Stall 0

Plenty of vehicles have Stall speeds of 0. Airships, flying cars, helicopters, and any vertical-takeoff vehicles all have stall of 0.

Vehicles Classic

• As expected, more lifting surfaces allow lower Stall speeds.
• The more radical a vehicle's aerial streamlining, the higher the stall speed gets--but only slightly. A boxy, vintage barnstormer plane will have a much lower stall speed than an equivalently-sized rocket plane.

Realistic Considerations

In real life, some planes with very low Stall speeds can be pushed or even lifted aloft by high winds while on the ground. It is recommended that PCs with high-lift aircraft (such as short-takeoff, pulp adventure airplanes) find a safe place to tie down their vehicle.
