| Aircraft Limits |
Often referred to as a V-n diagram, V-g diagram or aircraft manoeuvre envelope, the plot shows the structural limits of the airframe. Plots load factor (n) vs Indicated Airspeed. A dynamic envelope is drawn with boundaries for Limit Load and Ultimate Load, the envelope varies with current aircraft configuration. A vertical red line indicates the 1g stall speed (Vs1g). The colour of the plot line reflects the portion of the envelope that the plot point is in. Inset in the graph is a view of the current Angle of Attack. |
