Website. www.velocityaircraft.com. 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 company was sold to Scott and Duane Swing in 1992. In 1995, the cockpit design was changed, adding ...
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. [2][4][5] The XL is available in both fixed gear (FG) and retractable gear (RG) form and can ...
Velocity SE. The Rocket Racer on landing roll-out at Mojave. 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. [1]

Fuel economy in aircraft. Between 1950 and 2018, efficiency per passenger grew from 0.4 to 8.2 RPK per kg of CO₂. [ 1 ] The fuel economy in aircraft is the measure of the transport energy efficiency of aircraft. Fuel efficiency is increased with better aerodynamics and by reducing weight, and with improved engine brake-specific fuel ...
The meaning of jet engine performance has been phrased as 'the end product that a jet engine company sells' [1] and, as such, criteria include thrust and fuel consumption, life, weight, emissions, diameter and cost. Performance criteria reflect the level of technology used in the design of an engine and the technology has been advancing ...
Lift and drag are the two components of the total aerodynamic force acting on an aerofoil or aircraft. In aerodynamics, the lift-to-drag ratio (or L/D ratio) is the lift generated by an aerodynamic body such as an aerofoil or aircraft, divided by the aerodynamic drag caused by moving through air. It describes the aerodynamic efficiency under ...
In aerodynamics, the flight envelope, service envelope, or performance envelope of an aircraft or spacecraft refers to the capabilities of a design in terms of airspeed and load factor or atmospheric density, often simplified to altitude. [1][2] The term is somewhat loosely applied, and can also refer to other measurements such as maneuverability.
