Vs1 (Stall Speed, Clean Configuration)

The stall speed or minimum steady flight speed in a specified configuration, typically with flaps retracted and gear up (clean configuration), at maximum gross weight and idle power. Vs1 defines the lower limit of the green arc on the airspeed indicator. It is always higher than Vs0 because retracted flaps produce less lift at low speeds.
