If Knz is not set equal to 1, equation (6) reads:
Kq/Knz=Vco/g

V in equation (4) and Vco in equation (6) are not airspeeds but are kinematic speeds. Equation (4) applies equally in space without air, usually written as an=ω*V, for any body moving along a curved path and maintaining its orientation relative to the direction of movement.
