This will soon be a real consideration.


I don't have the figures available at the moment, but I can tell you what
to look for and what to do.


Find the Vs for a C152.


Find the Mmo, likely about M.75.


Your max altitude is where the true Vs == Mmo.

Thank you so much! *Can't wait to run the numbers.


Had this been a contest, you just walked off with a
new trophy.

How'd those numbers come out there, Mark(ie)? It's only been a week.
*ROFL*


Markie seems to be too busy to do his homework.


I'm so sorry for my untimeliness in this matter. It slipped
my mind.

Poor guy


Don't worry. I went to a fly-in Saturday, then we all
went out to dinner. And... there's nookie duty.
Busy, busy, busy.


So I'll do it for him, and give him an F.


You're just wanting a second trophy.


Formulae * *Units mks

* * TAS = exp(alt/15150) * CAS

* * Vsound = 340 * sqrt(1 - alt/86400)

Assume a *Mmo of .6 and Vs of 25m/s (50kts) your coffin corner is about 28500m
(95000').

What the real figures for a C152, I don't know.

95,000 feet? That sounds familiar with respect to this
topic, within this thread. Now who mentioned that already?

Oh yeah, ME!

I already calculated this without paper.

What's that? A TROPHY?

Than kew! Than kew veri much!
