At the aerodynamic ceiling there is only one speed at which we can maintain straight and level flight. It follows that this single speed (Vonly?) is both the best endurance speed and the best range speed.
That sounds good in theory, but who is flying around an airliner at their
' aerodynamic ceiling' ?
