 |  V speeds You guys most enjoy my posts, you can look smart  I was wondering what the V means when your're refering to it as a Vspeed. Like Vref as an example, its your reference speed based on factors of the enviornment at the time, but what does the V mean? I am confused again. any help would be apreciated, thanks.

 | My logical guess would be Velocity, since V can represent velocity in physics, and velocity is similar to speed. Anyway, I'm glad someone took the time to figure those speeds out, although the only V speed I hate is Vne!

| Yea it's really velocity, like Vno is velocity of normal operation(think green arc) in turbulence or max structural cruising speed in turbulence, and Vso-velocity of stall,etc. |

| Makes sense, look at Vne. Velocity that is not to be exceded. Vrot. Velocity to rotate. Thanks guys.

| Vref and Vt, two speeds that are used a whole bunch is turbine ops aren't really speeds at all. Vref is simply a referance airspeed. It could be referanced to anything, but it is normally used as your final approach speed. Vt or Vtarget is simply a stand in for a target speed which again could be anything. In the RJ (and I think most planes) Vt is actually a take off target speed used for climbing out and accelerating. |
