By considering the stability of potential flow of a superfluid around large obstacles of size R, we derive an analytical result for the critical velocity that is of order ${v}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\Elzxh}/mR,$ scaling inversely with obstacle size, in contrast to what is obtained from a Landau criterion. Our results are compared with numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and with recent measurements of the critical velocity in Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases.
