Boeing 767 Low-altitude Top Speed Options

[Guest_Ningen_*]

Does anyone know how fast a Boeing 767 can fly at low altitude? The top speed at cruising altitude is over 500 mph, but I've heard the following about flight at 700 feet altitude:

The power plant will max out at 330 mph.

The plane will begin to shake itself apart at over 220 mph.

At 700 feet altitude, the air is so thick that if you go too fast you max the rotation of the turbines, the engines can't suck in air, and the engine starts acting as a brake.

Does this make sense?

Where could I get more detailed information about flight limitations (or whatever you call it) of the Boeing 767?

Thank you.

P4T never claimed Vmo/Mmo is the max speed an aircraft can fly. Once again your strawman arguments give you away as the troll you are and a sock of "Pinch" (its ok Pinch.. we know you're obsessed with us.. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Your IP also gives you away as the liar you are.

As for being "touchy", you're the one arguing a claim we never made, not to mention we called it "hogwash" if you click the link, which in turn makes you an ass (another good indicator of you being "Pinch"). (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Any speed over Vmo/Mmo is excessive for any aircraft, period. We are trying to get actual data beyond Vmo for many aerodynamic factors which become an issue exceeding Vmo/Mmo and the purpose for manufacturers setting a Vmo/Mmo. We wont give opinion or speculate like your imaginary "friend" has done.

Those claims are so patently absurd that it really, really does make the technical expertise quotient of this board amount to about zero.

Once again i direct you to the white bold letters atop every page of our forum since it s clear you didnt understand it the first time, and if past performance is any indication, you failed to read it..., so i'll copy and paste the statement...

All views expressed in this forum are not necessarily the views of pilotsfor911truth.org

Do you understand what those words mean Pinch? err... Streetcar? If not, let us know and perhaps someone will come along to dumb it down for you.

Edit to add: For those who arent familiar with "Pinch", he claims to be a retired F-14 pilot (more like a Maverick wannabe, probably sings "Highway To The Danger Zone" in the shower every morning..lol) and is obsessed with our work. He has written up articles solely for the purpose of personally attacking P4T and its members (not a very professional aviator, if in fact he is one), and has created numerous socks here just so he can stalk/attack the people with which he is obsessed, arguing claims we never made (as seen above). The guy is a bit loopy if you ask me... Here is more if you have time to kill...
