REFLECTOR: VNE and TAS (was Canard - good news)

[Mike Dawson]

Compelling argument indeed and an informing article
but I still have heartache with it as a general rule.
If indicated airspeed is the amount of molecules
impacting the airframe and true airspeed is the speed,
compensated for temperature and pressure, that we move
thou the air then which will affect the
airframe...hmmmm. 

I'm no engineer and I have put a 350 hp v8 in my
Velocity. I don't wanna break it! Any other super
aerodynamic engineers out there?
