Hello everybody!
I've two questions concerning the maximum range speed of a jet aircraft.
When we take a look at the graph drag vs TAS , the lowest point on the drag curve is the Vmd, and the tangent from the origin of the curve is the speed for max range
1°) Why, mathematically speaking, the tangent from the origin will give the point of the "(TAS/DRAG)max"?
2°)Can someone explain me why the speed for max range is equal to 1,32 Vmd for a jet?
I tried to find some infos on the internet but the only one i found was the relationship Vmp/Vmd.
Thanks a lot
