I don’t feel the actual value of Vmu has much (if any) significance. What matters is that the tests prove that with an early rotation and the tail subsequently held on the ground an unstuck is still possible.In other words you cannot stall the wing during the takeoff run. In years gone by it was possible to stall some wings by early rotation, the original Comet being an example
