A bit on V speeds:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

V_A Design maneuvering speed, also known as the "Speed for maximum control deflection." This is the speed above which it is unwise to make full application of any single flight control (or "pull to the stops") as it may generate a force greater than the aircraft's structural limitations.

V_DF Demonstrated flight diving speed.

V_FC Maximum speed for stability characteristics.

V_MO Maximum operating limit speed.

V_NE Never exceed speed.

V_NO Maximum structural cruising speed.

V_nd Max structural cruising speed

[EDIT: To our pilots, Is V_nd correct above? That doesn't look right to me- it was from Wiki after all...]

Some like to handwave that these are just like "speed limit signs" on the side of the highway. The aerodynamic properties are not quite that simple, and it is also foolhardy to believe so.... That word "structural" isn't used there just for the hell of it, either.
