Confusion on rated speeds?

Ok, riddle me this. How can it have a cruise speed of 325 knots and a VNE of 280 knots? Bagheera (talk) 00:09, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because the Vne is always reported in indicated airspeed, whereas the cruise is true airspeed. This is common in faster aircraft. I have clarified this in the specs. - Ahunt (talk) 00:45, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That clarifies it. Thanks. Bagheera (talk) 20:38, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this information should be included in a Wikipedia article : it is not really representative of the performance of the aircraft (it just tells you what is going to be your max diving speed which no one uses in real life) and it confuses the reader (few people know the difference between IAS & TAS).--89.88.183.54 (talk) 12:47, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is exactly that few non-pilot readers understand the terms that they are linked to articles that explain them. I'd prefer not to dumb-down the encyclopedia, although I am all for links to explain things non-experts would not be familiar with. - Ahunt (talk) 13:50, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Crashed in Germany 2019?

One of these aircrafts crashed in Germany https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=223635 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.243.14.34 (talk) 07:25, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No it didn't. The general news media seem to have misidentified the crashed aircraft. It was an Epic LT, not an E1000, see this aviation media ref. If you read this Wikipedia article, you will see that it has not been certified and has not entered service yet. - Ahunt (talk) 14:42, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
