yes but flight data is not viewed from the outside so its very hard to determin the correct speed , thats what i mean ,
all we have is numbers on a computer generated program that has a marginal of error ? ,
more of a quriousity factual numbers then taking any sides in this discussion ,

The speeds reported for the WTC aircraft are based on Radar.
The speeds for the other aircraft are based on Radar and Black Box data.
All speeds reported are extremely excessive.

Thank you for letting us know you feel Radar in congested terminal areas is inaccurate and that the NTSB is incompetent.

Wow, I didn't know I wrote that...no wait you wrote that...you sillly rabbit.
So do you agree with those speeds...just asking...yes or no would work...

One correction and one addition. Va is irrelevant. It is simply the maximum speed at which full elevator input can be applied without stuff breaking or bending and not springing back.

One thing that has not been addressed by those who think it's a piece of cake to fly something at Vmo+150 while pulling gs is the rolling g load. Your V-g diagram is for non rolling symetrical loading. Introducing a rolling moment into the equation reduced maximum allowable g-loading to about 2/3 of the certified design load limit. It varies for every airframe type ad I remember the F-4 Phantom II Flight Manual had several pages on it depending on weight, ordinance configuration, whether they had the mickey mouse jury-rigged machine gun pod on it, the model (B, D or E), etc. Some other good information on the effect of rolling on gs is in the Bellanca 8KCAB flight manual and the one for each of the Avions Mudry CAP aircraft (10, 20 230, 231, 232.)

Yes, it does.
It would take us less time if you watch this video. It is all explained here by Aeronautical Engineers and United/American Airlines 757/767 Captains.

Hmm not sure if I wrote that either...nope I'm sure I didn't... Talk about straw man fallacy...
you just can't say yes or no can you...hehe

You can type away all day but just can't say yes I agree with the findings.... Why should I dig for an answer that would take you 3 or 2 letters to answer?
I'm not disagreeing with the speeds,
I just haven’t put efforts you have into it all and want YOUR opinion on whether you agree or not agree.

Second, I am proving a point. Your credibility has diminished in almost every argument you have made. You set a great example of those who blindly support anything the govt tells them.

Thats is something I cannot figure out

Funny. I've never seen/heard/experienced a compressor stall on a wing, which of course is an airfoil.
Or horizontal stabilizers, which are airfoils.
Or the fuselage of an aircraft when it is designed to be a lifting body, which of course, would be an airfoil.
You might want to rephrase that particular comment else you might be confused with "Radar only tracks a target based on what has been put into a flight plan" Tiffany.
Also, I see you used the modifier "often" rather than the absolute "always". That lends credence to the possibility that it does not always happen.
Are you prepared to stand by that?

OK Tiff, we have one taker who denies that supersonic compressibility can cause a compressor stall. We can repair to the pilot's lounge aver talk about it over brandy.

FACT: At full power, the tips of the fan blades would be traveling at 4309.5 x 3.14159 x 74.5 inches/minute or 1 008 581 inches per minute or, when added to the forward speed, as reported, would be traveling 1490 mph or about mach 2.0.

FACT: Compressor stall on a jet engine causes an audible "bang."
FACT: No sounds of a compressor stall or DFDR records of an EGT fluctuation were reported by the NTSB.

Since you apparently have never experienced a compressor stall, I'll show a video.
