Inconsistency in the Speeds
[edit]The never exceed speed is quoted as 285 kts, where as the max speed is 370 kts. V_ne is a structural limit where as the V_max is a performance limitation; as such I would expect that V_max is less than V_ne, or at least a note stating that V_max is TAS and V_ne is KEAS or IAS. For reference, 370kts @ 41,000 ft is 183 KEAS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.130.57.34 (talk) 03:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think you answered your own question. Vne is indicated airspeed, whereas cruise speeds are true airspeeds. I have specified those in the specs, just to clarify. - Ahunt (talk) 15:32, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
