“Follow the money” is the key.
Thx for the real world left seat info.
I only flew aircraft with that spinning thingee out front.
Don’t recall ever having a Vmo for a Cessna 1X2, just a Vne (never exceed).
I need a program to keep up with machinations involved in getting rid of the old bs$tard.
Passenger planes are optimized to run at a relatively sedate speed. Press them to run faster and you’ll find out just where the weakest part is.

Feels to me parts of the plane were going sonic.
Them boys were in a hurry.
I’m not an aviation engineer, but my recollection is that planes optimized for a subsonic speed have thicker wings than those that run supersonic. When a plane designed for speeds under the sound barrier approach the sound barrier a pulsating pressure wave (called compressibility) builds up on the wing and eventually tears it off.

My bad. It would have been more accurate to say MMO (Mach max operating) as opposed to Vmo (velocity max operating). Sometimes they are interchangeable.

Instant covid that required a hospital?
It is?
This is like replacing Adolf Hitler with Hermann Goering.
He has a history of brain aneurysms.
when any president/Vp or any other gov. official is in a town any hospital near the veneu is placed on stand-by period full stop. i have experenced this back in the 1970’s ford was in san diego giving some type of speech near the hospital i worked at, hospital was placed on stand-by and all emergency plans were reviewed..
No worries. Most of my seat time was in an Aeronca Champ. 😉
I don’t think ‘Mach’ numbers were even in the 1940s manual. Also you probably couldn’t hit Vne in a full ‘power’ vertical dive. 80 HP ya know.
He’s dead Jim.
