take off speed

You were not far off the mark, I trust you had a beer or six riding on it!!!!

thanks dragonfly DH90
RCMP use to operate dragonfly , infact its the first aircraft we had.
The topic of take off speed came up and no one know and we cant get it anywere on the net.
My estime was 50Kts

As mentioned the max speed of the Dragonfly is approx 125kts (145 mph),
the stall speed of the aircraft flaps up is 50kts (58 mph) and 48kts flaps down (55 mph).

The takeoff weight, as mentioned also, has a big part to play with the takeoff speed.
The takeoff distance varies quite a bit with the DH90 as the T/O weight changes.

I cant really give an accurate figure on the takeoff speed as I dont really pay that much attention when I’m racing off down the airfield (It lifts of when its ready to), but it would probably be in the 52 – 56kt (60 – 65mph) range.

If you have any other questions I’ll see if I can help.

They are a stunning aircraft, and a good bit of fun.

May I ask as to why you are interested in the T/O speed?

A De Havilland Dragonfly has a max speed of 125 Knots. It would depend on payload but its take off speed I would guess is somewhere around 70 knots.
