✈️V1 (Decision Speed):
The point where the pilot must decide—abort or continue. After this speed, there’s not enough runway left to safely stop, so takeoff must continue.
✈️VR (Rotation Speed):
The speed at which the pilot pulls back the nose to lift off. It ensures the aircraft becomes airborne safely and remains controllable.
✈️V2 (Takeoff Safety Speed):
The minimum speed to climb safely after liftoff, even if an engine fails. It must be reached shortly after takeoff (around 35 ft).
How They Work Together:
They create a step-by-step safety sequence:
Decide (V1) → Lift off (VR) → Climb safely (V2)
These speeds are calculated before every flight based on factors like aircraft weight, runway length, weather, and altitude, turning takeoff into a predictable, safety-driven process.
