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

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!
