Operating above this speed is prohibited since it may result in damage or structural failure. The red line on the airspeed indicator.
Industry:Aviation
The upper limit of the green arc. Do not exceed this speed except in smooth air.
Industry:Aviation
The minimum speed required to start dynamic hydroplaning.
Industry:Aviation
The speed that the pilot begins rotating the aircraft prior to lift-off.
Industry:Aviation
The minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. In small airplanes, this is the power-off stall speed at the maximum landing weight in the landing configuration (gear and flaps down). The lower limit of the white arc.
Industry:Aviation
The minimum steady flight speed obtained in a specified configuration. For most airplanes, this is the power-off stall speed at the maximum takeoff weight in the clean configuration (gear up, if retractable, and flaps up). The lower limit of the green arc.
Industry:Aviation
The minimum speed to intentionally render the critical engine inoperative.
Industry:Aviation
A design which utilizes two slanted tail surfaces to perform the same functions as the surfaces of a conventional elevator and rudder configuration. The fixed surfaces act as both horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
Industry:Aviation
The airspeed at which an airplane gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance. It is used during a short-field takeoff to clear an obstacle.
Industry:Aviation
The airspeed at which an airplane gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance in a light, twin-engine airplane following an engine failure.
