Maneuvering speed
Airspeed limitation selected by the designer of the aircraft
In aviation, the maneuvering speed of an aircraft is an airspeed limitation selected by the designer of the aircraft. At speeds close to, and faster than, the maneuvering speed, full deflection of any flight control surface should not be attempted because of the risk of damage to the aircraft structure.[1]
The maneuvering speed of an aircraft is shown on a cockpit placard and in the aircraft's flight manual but is not commonly shown on the aircraft's airspeed indicator.
In the context of air combat maneuvering (ACM), the maneuvering speed is also known as corner speed or cornering speed.[2]
