Vne Revisited

摘要

In our January issue, we ran an article, "Slow Down, You Move Too Fast," which focused on aerodynamic flutter, how high speeds can cause it and what can be done to minimize it. One aspect of the article drew comments and criticism from readers, some of which were published in the Unicom section in our March issue, involved that article's statements referencing a fixed-wing aircraft's never-exceed speed (Vne) as a true airspeed.
