Thank you for the additional info John.
In flight terms, would Mmo (max. mach) and Vmo (max. velocity) be
rated higher than Vne?
Would you happen to have approximate values for Vne, Vmo and Mmo for
a two seater, single engine plane such as a Katana DA-20?
Sorry for the
very basic questions; I'm just learning about aero physics
and don't really know where to go.
I'm also looking to debate a few points with my friends who claim
they were in airplanes that approached runways at
twice Vne
(Katana DA 20),
or flew over landing strips at
220 knots and 1000 feet altitude
(Airbus 330 flying into Denver airport).
It just seems very odd, and against regulation to me.
