Thanks for the detailed Raisbeck info, Megan. Interesting.
So...am I right in deducing that the Raisbeck aircraft can suffer an engine failure at, say 93 knots, pilot recognises this by V1 a second or so later, so is committed to go, then rotates at, say 96 knots and achieves 1.2 Vs of 120 knots by 35 feet? 121 knots conveniently being both blue line and the 1.20 margin over stall speed. Or have Raisbeck increased Vr to something a bit safer like 105 knots?
Either way it seems a helluva split between V1 and V2, more in keeping with a medium sized transport jet.
Just curious.
