The C-5 Performance Manual states that the check speed, which was variable between 80KIAS and 120 KIAS, would be as as close as possible to V1-10 knots. I think worded that right. Made for accurate checks, but was a set up for a high-speed abort for sub-standard acceleration. Other planes just used 100 knots, which seems reasonable, esp. Airbus.
