2 part question first part I suspect has been asked before.
Is there a minimum speed needed to keep a plane in the air? I geuess it will vary by aircraft so lets say a Britten-Norman Islander.
Yes. It's referred to as "Vs" which is the minimum speed where the aircraft is still controllable in normal configuration in normal flight. There's also "Vs0" which is the minimum stall speed in landing configuration. These are usually at the beginning of the green arc on the air speed indicator. It varies from aircraft to aircraft. No idea what it would be on the Islander.

2ns part, why do some police use these instead of choppers? If a planes minimum speed is higher than the car its chasing will it not just have to keep circling in order to not blast past it
Cheaper running costs, more range and endurance.

That's what I meant, not swimming.

Is it just a military one, or has someone built a submarine for a record attempt?

Do you mean Return of the Jedi or The 6th film to be made?

IIRC they were all CGi in the last one.

Return of the Jedi.

The new republic comes up, so what do they do with the remaining bits of imperial infastructure, like the Stormtroopers, the Star Destroyers etc.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but it wasn't real.

There, I've said it. Once you get over the initial shock, the emotional scars will heal with time.

Space is a vacuum therefore heat (kinetic energy in atoms of matter) wouldn't exist?
