Some helicopter cannot climb straight up! +2/-0 Obviously 4/18/2024 10:27:21 AM

so, then, straight up isn't Vx! Vx would be above Vtoss and (NT) +0/-0 below Vy. 4/18/2024 8:09:11 PM

so, then, straight up isn't Vx! Vx would be above Vtoss and +0/-0 Get a refund from your flight school 4/18/2024 9:38:29 PM
