Landing Speed: That speed at which an aeroplane with a normal type two-wheel undercarriage stalls when making contact with the ground in the course of a "three-point landing.
Low landing speed
Outstanding visibility
Low cost
Comfortable seating for two
400 lbs. (pilots and passenger and baggage) ...
Fastest landing speed record (76 passengers aboard, no one harmed)[10]

The factor of weight is important in determining landing speed. All airplanes stall at slower airspeeds when they are light.
Specifically, canard airplanes tend to have high landing speeds, and therefore require rather long runways.
Observe the high speed of the latest speed scouts, where power is concentrated exclusively on speed and climbing ability and landing speed is dangerously high.
SLOT or SLAT- A long, narrow, spanwise gap in a wing, usually near the leading edge, to improve airflow at high angles of attack for slower landing speeds.
The next big challenge is to design a wing with a high lift coefficient so that the wing area is as small as possible, while take-off / landing speeds are as low as possible.
landing flaps - a secondary control surface built into the wing by which the overall wing area, or lift-drag ratio, can be increased. The increased wing area permits a slower landing speed.
They can force an airplane to increase their rotate speed (lift-off speed) and tailwind can also force and aircraft coming in to land to increase their landing speed.
Flaps Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons. The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed.
longer takeoff ground run
reduced rate of climb, reduced angle of climb
lower ceiling
higher fuel consumption, less range and endurance
reduced cruise speed
reduced climb speed
higher landing speed
longer landing roll ...
After forward speed is reduced to a safe landing speed, the helicopter is placed in a landing attitude as collective pitch is applied to cushion the touchdown.
