Re: Vulcan Limit
Aeronut and ionagh, the delta-wing Vulcan did not suffer from 'coffin corner'. There was no such thing as 'low speed buffet boundary' or a conventional stall - at high AoA the drag simply increased until level flight was no longer possible with maximum continuous thrust. The only aerodynamic limit was the release to service maximum permitted IMN of well over M0.9.
