AnswersDriveA: V1 is the speed by which time the decision to continue flight if an engine fails has been made. It can be said that V1 is the "commit to fly" speed. V2 is the speed at which the airplane will climb in the event of an engine failure. It is known as the takeoff safety speed.
What is the normal landing speed of a Boeing 777?
The Boeing 777 was traveling at speeds well below the target landing speed of 137 knots per hour, or 157 mph, said National Transportation Safety Board chief Deborah Hersman at a briefing Sunday on the crash.

What is the landing speed of a 737?
RE: 737-800 Landing Speed?#10937427. At max landing weight (144,000 pounds for our -800s), the flaps 30 (degrees) Vref is 150. We usually add 5 knots to that to produce a "target speed" of 155 knots.

What is v1 in psychology?
[1] The visual cortex refers to the primary visual cortex (also known as striate cortex or V1) and extrastriate visual cortical areas such as V2, V3, V4, and V5. The primary visual cortex is anatomically equivalent to Brodmann area 17, or BA17.
4
What is VSO speed?
VS Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable. VS0 Stall speed or minimum flight speed in landing configuration. VS1 Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable in a specific configuration.
5
What is the landing speed of an airplane?
For an average-sized commercial jetliner with typical fuel and payload, the "takeoff speed" is around 130-160 knots, or about 150 to 200 miles per hour. The landing speed is more or less the same, usually a few knots slower. With a very common 737-800 the landing speed is about 180-200 knots.
6
What is the maneuvering speed?
VA or maneuvering speed is the speed calculated by the manufacturer at which the aircraft will stall before exceeding maximum G loading, thus preventing damage to the air-frame. Maneuvering speed is usually determined by multiplying the flaps-up, power-off stall speed by the square root of 3.8 Gs, which is 1.95.
7
What is VMO speed?
If the flight manual/specification says maximum speeds are: Vmo = 350 knots, Mmo = M.82. Vmo is the maximum airspeed at which an aircraft is certified to operate. Mmo is the maximum Mach number at which an aircraft has been certified to operate.
8
What is VMC speed?
Minimum control speeds. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The minimum control speed (VMC) of an aircraft (specifically an airplane) is a V-speed that specifies the calibrated airspeed below which directional or lateral control of the aircraft can no longer be maintained, after the failure of one or more engines.
9
What is V speed?
Incorrectly, or as an abbreviation, some documentation refers to Vref and/or Vrot speeds as "Vr." VS. Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable. VS0. Stall speed or minimum flight speed in landing configuration.
10
What is vs1?
Vs and Vs1. Now that you are familiar with Vs0, it's easy to remember Vs1. The beginning of the Green Arc is the power off Stalling Speed with the Gear and Flaps retracted. Vs is the Velocity (V) of the Stall (s), or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable.
11
What is the VREF speed?
The final approach speed is based on the reference landing speed, VREF. VREF usually is defined by the aircraft operating manual (AOM) and/or the quick reference handbook (QRH) as: 1.3 x stall speed with full landing flaps or with selected landing flaps.
12
What is VX speed?
Vx is the slowest (IAS), and is the Maximum ANGLE of climb. It allows one to climb to altitude within the shortest horizontal distance. Vy is slightly faster, and is the Maximum RATE of climb. It allows one to climb to altitude in the shortest time.
13
What is takeoff safety speed?
Definition. The takeoff safety speed which must be attained at the 35 ft height at the end of the required runway distance. This is essentially the best one-engine inoperative angle of climb speed for the airplane and is a minimum speed for flight in that condition until at least 400 ft above the ground.
14
What is VR in aviation?
Vr is defined as the speed at which the rotation of the aircraft should be initiated to takeoff attitude.
15
What is the VNO speed?
Vno - Maximum Structural Cruise Speed - When cruising at, and below, Vno the aircraft should not be damaged by a 30 feet/second vertical gust. It is indicated by the top end of the Airspeed Indicator's Green Arc. Smooth air only for speeds in the Yellow Arc.
16
How fast is a plane going in the air?
How Fast Do Commercial Airliners Fly? Commercial jet aircraft cruise at about 400 – 500 knots (460 – 575 mph / 740 – 930 kph) – read more to understand the background behind it. Speed can get a bit confusing when talking about an object moving through the air.
17
How does a plane take off and fly?
A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky. The wings force the air downward and that pushes the plane upward.
18
What is the VMCG?
Vmcg is defined as the minimum speed, whilst on the ground, that directional control can be maintained, using only aerodynamic controls, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes) and takeoff power applied on the other engine(s).
19
What is MMO speed?
VMO/MMO is defined as the maximum operating limit speed. VMO is expressed in knots calibrated airspeed (KCAS), while MMO is expressed in Mach number. The VMO limit is usually associated with operations at lower altitudes and deals with structural loads and flutter.
20
What is VLE speed?
VLE — Maximum landing gear extended speed. Maximum speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. VLO — Maximum landing gear operating speed. Maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted.
