  1. When is Vmo/Mmo applicable? - Aviation Stack Exchange

    Jul 25, 2021 · I have read that for most planes Vmo (maximum operating speed) is the limitation below 25000ft and Mmo (maximum operating Mach number) is the limitation above 25000ft. Is it correct to …

  2. v speeds - What exactly is VMO and how does it affect a plane when it ...

    Jul 21, 2015 · I read an article that mentioned "VMO" speeds of a 747 and that the plane, when it exceeds its VMO, shakes uncontrollably and destroys itself. I've never heard of planes doing this and …

  3. aircraft performance - Why is the normal operating airspeed so much ...

    VMO and MMO are fix values independent of altitude. VMO is given in IAS. You can convert MMO to an airspeed based on altitude, but really they are two independent limits, and whichever limit is lower at …

  4. Can a Boeing 767-200 fly at 510 knots at a height of 400 metres?

    Jun 4, 2015 · The Vmo is 360 KIAS vs 602 KIAS corresponding to an Mmo of 0.91 at those altitudes. Presumably Boeing engineers in a buffer of 20% or so prior to the onset of control surface flutter, so …

  5. How does maximum speed vary with altitude? - Aviation Stack Exchange

    VMO (max. allowed IAS) is constant with altitude, and max. allowed Mach number MMO is, too. Maximum speed (e.g. IAS/TAS) for any given altitude is the speed corresponding to the lower of the …

  6. When does the overspeed alarm goes off in a plane?

    Nov 3, 2016 · The overspeed clacker on the CRJ 200 series will sound "at" a calculated limit speed which is either VMO or MMO (depending on altitude) according to the documentation available at …

  7. What determines the maximum speeds for a particular aircraft?

    Aircraft have three different maximum airspeeds: VMO (maximum operating speed) - the maximum speed that the aircraft is allowed to reach during normal operations. VNE (never exceed speed) - the …

  8. What are the V-Speeds used during a normal takeoff in a multi-engine ...

    VMO and VMC are both important VMO = Maximum Operating Speed, a structurally safe maximum speed which varies with altitude. For example with an emergency descent in a B777 the VMO is …

  9. How do manufacturers/kit providers determine Vne?

    Sep 12, 2016 · It is exactly as pericynthion says. VD is one of the so called design speeds defined at design time. Many of the structural/aeroelastic characteristics have to be demonstrated at speeds up …

  10. Airbus A320 automatic speed mode protection in SRS vertical mode

    Nov 9, 2018 · I suspect the reasoning was that SRS mode implies you are pretty low on altitude, and you do not desire an automatic (and uncommanded) reduction of thrust on, say, a windshear. Of …
