The article clearly states that Fluter is a function of TAS, and therefor Vne should also be a TAS number. The article then went on to offer a very plausible explanation on why part 23 didn't use TAS for Vne.

    Subject: Re: TAS and VNE
    What can be misleading is "assuming" that critical flutter speed (TAS based) is quantitatively related to a published Vne speed. Vne could be based on a structural deformation safety margin (dynamic pressure / IAS related). The critical flutter speed for a given aircraft design could be much higher (some are, some aren't). It's a design parameter that is typically related to the intended operating altitude (envelope). Without "knowing" your critical flutter speed (TAS based), you're at a loss for really understanding your operating envelope. The safe/conservative assumption then is that TAS must remain below the published Vne. However, TAS only = IAS at STP (sea level). At every altitude above that, TAS is > IAS (approx 15% per 10k ft). Thus, if you assume that TAS must remain below Vne, then your IAS must remain below Vne at ANY altitude (unless you're in the pattern at death valley). That may be more conservative than necessary (depending on the aircraft). It also implies that the pilot must continuously convert IAS to TAS (EFIS, E6B, placard chart, or SWAG). The real key is "knowing" the critical flutter speed (TAS) versus "guessing" it's the same (or near) the published Vne. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Chris W Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 4:24 AM I can't see anything misleading about it.

    Subject: head start to rotary powered RV( for sale)
    Sorry about the commercial, but believe this is the best spot to get a<? xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:offi ce" /> plug in for my engine package! You can get a great headstart on building a rotary powered RV and save a bundle of money. Have decided to part my 9A out and build a LSA since medicals or getting tougher as 70 is upon me. Am currently waiting on my special issuance t o arrive and will not plan on filing for a 3rd class next year. Will sell the rotary and am installing a lycoming in the 9A before selli ng it. Do not wish to have the double jeopardy of an alternative engine and homebuilt combination if I sell it with the rotary. The engine installation has had minimum problems once I got past a fault y DPDT switch that was apparently backfeeding 12 volts to electronic con trol and burning the chip which operates off of 5 volts. Flew the 40 hou rs off in minimum time and have about 20 hours on it since. Fuel burn is equivalent to a lycoming if leaned which the flight report in Sport Aviation alludes to. That controller does not allow for leaning . I have over $12K invested and many educational hours involved. Will sell it for $8K. The gear reduction and electronic controller are built by Tracy Crook at RWS inc, the engine is a street ported 13B built by Bruce Turrentine, the engine mount is by Fred Breese, and the prop is a Sense nich. You get the nose gear leg, dual electronic fuel pumps, intake and exhaust manifolds, muffler, radiator (Griffen custom aluminum), oil cool er, Sam James cowl, and many more items. The rotary is coming to SnF so you can see the package there, just call my cell at 772 708 0093 to see it. Email me at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />jbker@juno.co m to see some pictures of installation.
