A series of designators used by the FAA and listed in 14 CFR 1 to describe certain flight conditions:
VA — design maneuvering speed.
VB — design speed for maximum gust intensity.
VC — design cruising speed.
VD — design diving speed.
VDF/MDF — demonstrated flight diving speed.
VEF — The speed at which the critical engine is assumed to fail during takeoff.
VF — design flap speed.
VFC/MFC — maximum speed for stability characteristics.
VFE — maximum flap extended speed.
VFO — Maximum flap operating speed (extended or retracted).
VFTO — Final takeoff speed.
VH — maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power.
VLE — maximum landing gear extended speed.
VLO — maximum landing gear operating speed.
VLOF — lift-off speed.
VMC — minimum control speed with the critical engine inoperative.
VMD — Minimum drag speed. Minimum drag speed.
VMO/MMO — maximum operating limit speed.
VMU — minimum unstick speed.
VNE — never-exceed speed.
VNO — maximum structural cruising speed.
VP — Minimum dynamic hydroplaning speed—the minimum speed required to start
dynamic hydroplaning.
VR — rotation speed.
VREF — Reference landing speed.
VS — the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane
is controllable.
VS0 — the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing
configuration.
VS1 — the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed obtained in a
specific configuration.
VSR — Reference stall speed.
VSR0 — Reference stall speed in the landing configuration.
VSR1 — Reference stall speed in a specific configuration.
VSSE — Safe, intentional one-engine inoperative speed. The minimum speed to
intentionally render the critical engine inoperative.
VSW — Speed at which onset of natural or artificial stall warning occurs.
VTOSS — takeoff safety speed for Category A rotorcraft.
VX — speed for best angle of climb.
VXSE — Best angle of climb speed with one engine inoperative.
VY — speed for best rate of climb.
VYSE — Best rate-of-climb speed with one engine inoperative. This airspeed provides
the most altitude gain in a given period of time in a light, twin-engine airplane
following an engine failure.
V1 — Critical engine failure speed or takeoff decision speed. Engine failure below this
speed will result in an aborted takeoff; above this speed the takeoff run should be
continued.
V2 — takeoff safety speed.
V2min — minimum takeoff safety speed.
