- Company Profile:
The maximum authorized weight of the aircraft and all of its equipment as specified in the Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS) for the aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
An airspeed at which any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power, would result in an immediate stall.
Industry:Aviation
The point on the total drag curve where the lift-to-drag ratio is the greatest. At this speed, total drag is minimized.
Industry:Aviation
Maximum operating speed expressed in terms of a decimal of mach speed. The MMO speed is associated with operations at higher altitudes and is usually more concerned with compressibility effects and flutter.
Industry:Aviation
A moment divided by a constant such as 100, 1,000, or 10,000. The purpose of using a moment index is to simplify weight and balance computations of airplanes where heavy items and long arms result in large, unmanageable numbers.
