Aircraft Velocity in Conceptual Design Formulas

Aircraft Velocity is the maximum speed in the takeoff at which the pilot must take the first action. And is denoted by V_a. Aircraft Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Aircraft Velocity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Aircraft Velocity?

Aircraft Velocity is the maximum speed in the takeoff at which the pilot must take the first action. Aircraft Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Aircraft Velocity is always positive.

Can the Aircraft Velocity be negative?

No, the Aircraft Velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Aircraft Velocity?

Aircraft Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Aircraft Velocity can be measured.
