@@joshuashackelford6696 Sorry to be pedantic but Vne is not ALWAYS indicated airspeed. SOME aircraft have a Vne which is TAS based. At "low" altitude Vne is IAS based (due to aerodynamic loads) but at "high" altitudes it can be TAS based due to flutter issues. Depending on the altitude there can also be a mach limit. U2 and Canberra aircraft flew at altitudes where stall speed (IAS) and critical mach number were very close together. This was know as Coffin Corner - though not really an issue for a 600kg microlight! As an example: the Shark 600 (Flight manual availible online) has a Vne of: Below 3000 ft 177 kts IAS 3000 - 6500 ft 169 kts IAS 6500 - 10000 185 kts TAS ~ 161 IAS (note only approved to 10000 ft, which I believe is the max altitude for microlights in Europe)
Let's not be disingenuous here, Vne TAS is 200kts, Vne IAS is 183kts up to 6000', then decrees incrementally as altitude increases. It's okay though, you don't have access to the POH like I do.
@@ChavngRynsPvts Correct....and as I explained to the previous fella, chart does not state VNE TAS 200KTS, the VNE is missing which would be possibly confusing for the newbie. This is all about the new pilot scenario, not for professional pilots such as myself and possibly you.
You didn’t mention the turbine version which is coming out soon. High level aircraft.
What caused the original to break apart?
No wonder why they cost so much, that's a lot of kevlar.
LMAO @ 4:43 JMB VL3 915IS Cruising Speed 200 KTS VNE 184 KTS Still wouldn't trust this aircraft.
VNE is always in indicated airspeed. Manufacturers usually list cruise speed as a true airspeed which means it can be higher than the VNE.

You are mixing IAS with TAS
Very expensive
You get what you pay for. An excellent high performance product.
Little plastic bird
haha right
