To achieve a balanced field takeoff, V 1 is selected so the take-off distance with one engine inoperative, and the accelerate-stop distance, are equal. [1] When the runway length is equal to the balanced field length only one value for V 1 will exist.
[31] [32] [33] in a scheduled time of 16 hours and 20 minutes. [34] [35] As of 2023, it continues to hold the record for the longest ever scheduled commercial nonstop flight (by great circle distance) as well as the world's longest domestic flight. [36] [37] [38] [39]
STOL (Short Take Off and Landing). STOL performance of an aircraft is the ability of aircraft to take off and clear a 50-foot obstruction in a distance of 1,500 feet from beginning the takeoff run. It must also be able to stop within 1,500 feet after crossing a 50-foot obstacle on landing. —

The optimum value of V1 is the value that causes the accelerate-stop distance to equal OEI takeoff distance. This single, optimum, value of V1 delivers the shortest permissible distance required for takeoff.
The maximal total range is the maximum distance an aircraft can fly between takeoff and landing. Powered aircraft range is limited by the aviation fuel energy storage capacity (chemical or electrical) considering both weight and volume limits. [1] Unpowered aircraft range depends on factors such as cross-country speed and environmental conditions.
