Our turbulent Air Penetration Speed:

Sea Level to 20'000 feet maintain 240kts.

Above 20'000 feet, maintain 260 knots until intercepting 0.78 Mach.

The above provides a 0.5 buffet margin. The target speed is the maximum recommended speed to prevent structural damage. Flight at this speed will give the best protection against loss of control.
