Regarding the comments about MRC being an unstable speed, and how this is improved by flying 1% faster -

I know that piston engine aircraft fly at MRC at minimum drag speed, which is speed unstable. But I thought that MRC speed for turbojet aircraft, was the minimum value of drag / TAS, which is a stable speed.

Where have I gone wrong?
