  VX. Best angle-of-climb speed. The airspeed at which an airplane gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance. It is used during a short-field takeoff to clear an obstacle. VY. Best rate-of-climb speed. This airspeed provides the most altitude gain in a given period of time. VYSE. Best rate-of-climb speed with one engine inoperative. This airspeed provides the most altitude gain…
