  2. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    V S R: Reference stall speed. [7] V S R 0: Reference stall speed in landing configuration. [7] V S R 1: Reference stall speed in a specific configuration. [7] V SW: Speed at which the stall warning will occur. [7] V TOSS: Category A rotorcraft takeoff safety speed. [7] [23] V X: Speed that will allow for best angle of climb. [7] [8] V Y: Speed ...

  3. Airspeed indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_indicator

    At a glance, the pilot can determine a recommended speed (V speeds) or if speed adjustments are needed. Single and multi-engine aircraft have common markings. For instance, the green arc indicates the normal operating range of the aircraft, from V S1 to V NO. The white arc indicates the flap operating range, V SO to V FE, used for approaches ...

  4. Indicated airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicated_airspeed

    An example: Because (1) the compressibility of air changes considerably approaching the speed of sound, and (2) the speed of sound varies considerably with temperature and therefore altitude; the maximum speed at which an aircraft structure is safe, the never exceed speed (abbreviated V NE), is specified at several differing altitudes in faster ...

  5. Speed and rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    In aeronautics, the rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft's vertical speed, that is the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time. [1] In most ICAO member countries, even in otherwise metric countries, this is usually expressed in feet per minute (ft/min); elsewhere, it is commonly expressed in metres per second (m/s).

  6. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    The venturi compensator supplies a speed-dependent negative pressure, so that the pressure reduces as speed increases, compensating for the increased static pressure due to sink. According to Helmut Reichmann , "...the least sensitive venturi mounting point would appear to be on the upper quarter of the vertical fin, some 60 cm (2 feet) forward ...

    [6] [7] [8] Quizlet's blog, written mostly by Andrew in the earlier days of the company, claims it had reached 50,000 registered users in 252 days online. [9] In the following two years, Quizlet reached its 1,000,000th registered user. [10] Until 2011, Quizlet shared staff and financial resources with the Collectors Weekly website. [11]

    Piper, however, had encouraged Jamouneau's changes and hired him back. Piper then bought Taylor's share in the company, paying him $250 per month for three years. [5] Although sales were initially slow, about 1,200 J-2s were produced before a fire in the Piper factory, a former silk mill in Bradford, Pennsylvania, ended its production in 1938.
