    Maneuvering Speed

    In aviation, the maneuvering speed of an aircraft is selected by the designer and represents the maximum speed at which full control surface deflection can be used without risking structural damage. It is determined based on the aircraft's stall speed and maximum load factor and is intended to provide a buffer below the aircraft's structural dive speed limit. The maneuvering speed is displayed on cockpit placards and in manuals but not usually on airspeed indicators. Exceeding maneuvering speeds or making aggressive control inputs even below maneuvering speed can still cause structural failure in some cases.

    Maneuvering speed

    3 Maximum operating maneuvering speed VO


    Some aircraft have a maximum operating maneuvering
    speed VO. The concept of maximum operating maneuvering speed was introduced to the USA type-certication
    standards for light aircraft in 1993.[1][5] The maximum
    operating maneuvering speed is selected
    by the aircraft
    designer and cannot be faster than Vs n , where V is
    the stalling speed of the aircraft, and n is the maximal
    allowed positive load factor.

    At airspeeds slower than Vs n the aircraft will stall before the structure is subjected to its limiting aerodynamic
    load. The maneuvering speed or maximum operating
    maneuvering speed depicted on a cockpit placard is calculated for the maximum weight of the aircraft. Some
    Pilots Operating Handbooks also present safe speeds for
    weights less than the maximum.

    In aviation, the maneuvering speed of an aircraft is an


    airspeed limitation selected by the designer of the aircraft. At speeds close to, and faster than, the maneuvering
    speed, full deection of any ight control surface should
    not be attempted because of the risk of damage to the
    aircraft structure.[1]

    weight.[6]
    In the context of air combat manoeuvring (ACM), the
    maneuvering speed is also known as corner speed or cornering speed.[2]

    Implications

    American Airlines Flight 587

    It has been widely misunderstood that ight below


    maneuvering speed will provide total protection from
    structural failure. In response to the destruction of
    American Airlines Flight 587, a CFR Final Rule was issued clarifying that ying at or below the design maneuvering speed does not allow a pilot to make multiple large
    control inputs in one airplane axis or single full control
    inputs in more than one airplane axis at a time. Such
    actions may result in structural failures at any speed, including below the maneuvering speed.[3]
