Flying home from Fort Collins, CO to Rochester, MN, all 3hr and 30 minutes of it, I have to admit I was doing some napkin math about “now what if” it was 300 knots instead of my 185 at that time.... Nancy and Errol asleep so what else is a man to do..... Cruising at FL230 doing 260kts last weekend, I was doing the exact same thing trying to figure out a sane way to get out of my F and into a solitaire for the additional climb rate and 40-50 knots cruise speed. Its a 14% increase in speed for a 100% increase in costs. I went back to looking at the view from FL230. It never ends.

Vne should decrease with altitude (barber pole should come down.)
This is because flutter is a function of true air speed and not indicated air speed.
Another way to look at it: the pitot tube measures the ram air pressure-which goes down for a given true airspeed as altitude increase because there are fewer molecules. However, pitot tube does not measure the speed at which the air molecules traverse the aircraft. Flutter comes from the speed of the molecules.

Username Protected wrote: 170 kts also changes your life if you're coming from a car. Very true. There are increments though. In the Baron from Houston to Key West is an all day affair with a stop in the middle. In the MU2 I leave at breakfast and land for lunch. That's a trip I want to take now instead of one I'd dread. I imagine the same would be true for a CJ3 and up. Alaska or Canada from Houston is accessible for a long weekend. Not so in the MU2. That kind of freedom and flexibility is life changing.

Very true. Do the same thing myself all the time. "Oh I wish I had a 980 model so I could climb to FL280" or "wish I had -10's so I could go 300kts". But the fact is they all just give you incremental performance improvements, at a 100-200% cost increase. Not to mention that you then also step up to more advanced systems that cost more to repair should they break. I marvel at how simple all the systems are on the early models. Simple is good.

Username Protected wrote: Your all in Luc is a lot more reasonable and affordable than the TP. I'd question it, if it affects retirement at all. Living or flying in retirement. Just not worth it at our age if it's not mission/business related I don't think. That is unless the missus wins the Powerball soon. Then it's Katie bar the door... You are of course 100% correct Chuck. This would affect retirement in a big way. Non-starter I’m afraid. About those tickets Nancy......

VMO goes from 260 up to 275 once above 8000' in the CJ2. MMO is always .72 though.

Flew a 501 into Burbank. Wind 20G30 60 degree crosswind variable 60 degrees with 30kt shear on final. Sporty! It did great.
