Commercial Aviation: Regionals, Turboprops And More—2018 Photo Contest

E195-E2 Vmu Test—Front View

David Branco Filho, Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil

In this side-angle view, an Embraer 195-E2 prototype performs a minimum unstick speed (Vmu) test, where the aircraft lifts off the ground at the minimum possible airspeed and sometimes drags its tail skid on the runway. Vmu is a certification reference to determine operational takeoff speeds with a margin of safety for normal operations.

The aircraft lifts off the ground at the minimum possible airspeed and sometimes drags its tail skid on the runway.

K-MAX N357KA Guayama, Puerto Rico

Mark Bennett, Apache Junction, Arizona

Framed by the dense foliage onto which power lines headed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, had fallen in the fury of Hurricane Maria, this K-MAX operated by ROTAK Helicopter Services precisely lowers a high-tension power line tower support. The K-MAX proved itself again and again, placing supports and towers, and hauling the fallen conductors out of the jungle.
