In many cases this will give us a speed that is slightly higher than Vmd.
Keith, isn't it true that for turbojets/fans as speed increases, fuel flow must increase if one wants to maintain a certain thrust. Thus, for an aircraft the speed for minimum fuel flow will be slightly LESS than the speed for minimum drag?
