Speed flown after Drifting down?
So,In a turbojet aircraft, after an engine failure in cruise, we hold the altitude till we get to the Vmd and then maintain the Vmd till the thrust from the remaining engine is enough to balance the drag. This gives us the minimum angle of descent. what does it mean by enough to balance the drag? is it that we want to maintain Vmd for cruise at the lower altitude also? or is it descended to a lower altitude where we can maintain LRC? If LRC then, Since after an engine failure, the most important aspect is range(i think), then why LRC? it does give 1 percent reduction in range...what speed is actually to be flown after an engine failure and why?
