Gear retraction of a Velocity on takeoff. The Velocity XL is 12 in (310 mm) longer and has a 20 in (510 mm) greater span than the SE. [3] The standard XL has a cruising range of 875 nautical miles (1,620 km; 1,007 mi) and a 75% power cruising speed of 185 knots (213 mph; 343 km/h) air speed.
Velocity, Inc. is an American kit aircraft manufacturer. The company was founded in 1984 by Danny Maher, marketing a four-seat homebuilt aircraft based on the Long-EZ design. The first prototype flew in 1985.
The Velocity Model 173 SE (Standard Elite) is an entry-level canard pusher aircraft from Velocity Aircraft. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The four seat, rear engine aircraft may be powered by a 160 hp (120 kW) Lycoming IO-320 or a 200 hp (150 kW) Lycoming IO-360 engine.
The tiny fleet of four E-4B National Airborne Operations Center aircraft, Boeing 747-200 airliners converted into airborne nuclear command posts, cost a staggering $372,496 an hour to fly, or $103 ...
The Velocity V-Twin is a four-seat (with a five-seat option), retractable tricycle landing gear, composite construction aircraft with a twin engine pusher configuration and the canard layout of the Velocity XL single engine aircraft. Its fuselage is that of the XL-RG, with the addition of the single, vertical surface which replaces the twin end ...
For example, Concorde cruised at 1354 mph, or 7.15 million feet per hour, with its engines giving an SFC of 1.195 lb/(lbf·h) (see below); this means the engines transferred 5.98 million foot pounds per pound of fuel (17.9 MJ/kg), equivalent to an SFC of 0.50 lb/(lbf·h) for a subsonic aircraft flying at 570 mph, which would be better than even ...
The jet velocity exceeds the speed of a subsonic aircraft by too great an amount to be an economical method of subsonic aircraft propulsion. The purpose behind the jet engine is to convert fuel energy into kinetic energy of the cycle air but after the thrust-producing momentum has appeared the unwanted byproduct is the wake velocity which ...
