Abstract: A low stall or minimum control speed aircraft comprising a fuselage that has vertically flat sides; wings with high a lift airfoil profile of constant chord section set at zero degree planform sweep, twin booms having inner vertically flat surfaces, twin vertical stabilizers, a flying horizontal stabilizer; preferably twin engines having propellers and wherein each engine preferably has a thrust-line that is inclined nose-up to a maximum of +8 degrees, and is parallel to the wing chord underneath wing mounts and landing gear doors that provide surfaces for channeling propeller wash in a rearward direction; all working in concert so that the airplane has an extremely low stall speed and minimum control speed. The engines may be diesel, hydrogen fuel cell, electric fuel cell, diesel-electric, gas turbine or combinations thereof. The propellers may be counter-rotating.
