Overspeed (aircraft)

Overspeed (aircraft)
Not to be confused with overspeed (engine) or critical Mach number.
For structural failure resulting from overspeed, see Loss of structural integrity on an aircraft.
Main article: V speeds

Overspeed is the aircraft flight condition when the airspeed or ground speed is greater than a maximum speed, e.g.;

  • never exceed speed
  • maximum speed for stability characteristics
  • maximum operating limit speed
  • maximum flap extended speed
  • maximum landing gear extended speed
  • maximum landing gear operating speed
