Sheesh. It's hard to imagine anything non-military that could do it
anyway! The BD10 was supposed to have had a ROC of 33,000 FPM with the
larger engine, but there can't be much else capable of it.

The Budweiser jet was kewl!


Did Bud sponser the BD 10 or was it somethign different?

Err I don't think that's 100% correct but it will do for MX.
Please then for my benefit point me to such a regulation.
Technically speaking, it is illegal to descend faster than about
25,000fpm (needs to be adjusted based on density, since it's give in
terms of indicated airspeed) when below 10,000ft. I doubt too many
flights would need to worry about this limitation.

Or climb!


But in fact this can be waived and very frequently is.


Bertie


Well personally I would never try do descent faster than 25,000ftm

below
10,000 feet, well actually I wouldn't above either....... ;-)



Wuss!

You can't descend or climb faster than the speed of sound over most land.
Damn.

I think Bud sponsored it at air shows but I'm not 100% sure what the deal
was. Here is a pic -

Ah, OK, that's the BD 5J. the BD 10 was a whole nuther thing. It looked
like an F-14 and was a two seater. There were two engine options. One
was some sort of bizjet engine and gave very good performance. The other
engine option was much much larger and gave a 30,000 FPM plus rate of
climb. and was capable of mach 1.4.

Thanks.



Actually, now that I think about it, there is a (physical) law that says the
Vertical Speed shall be no faster than the Air Speed. So I guess that would
put a bound on it.

Well, what if you exceeded the 250 knot limit going down in class E
below 1000?

Oh boy, would you be in trouble with the FAA then!

It is an absolute violation to ascend or descend faster 186,000mps.
But
feel free to try and let me know the outcome.


That may change this year....

Bertie-


Hey, look. If you got no wikipedia link on that one I'm sorry but I
just gotta call BS on it.
