So maximum range speed for a jet aircraft is about 1.32 Vmd.
Keith;
Excellent summary!
I'm wondering, would it be appropriate to add, just for symmetry, to
your item (1): Vmp is about Vmd/1.32 ?

P.S. I just came to remember/reconstruct the derivation of the factor 1.32 (3^(1/4) rounded to two decimal places). The reciprocal value applies to Vmp, doesn't it? And in your item (3): ... where cL/cD^2 is maximum?
