SF50 Vision Jet Energy Management in the Climb
A common misconception is that slowing below vY (best climb rate) will improve climb rate. In reality, vY decreases with altitude, and flying slower than optimal often results in less climb performance, not more. When airspeed is reduced unnecessarily, valuable kinetic energy is wasted—energy that could otherwise be converted into altitude.
