Abstract The flight envelope is the region of velocity-normal acceleration space that defines the conditions under which an aircraft may be safely flown without significant risk of structural failure. It is bracketed by the gust envelope, which defines the safe ranges of airspeed and normal acceleration for manoeuvering and for operating in turbulent conditions, and some other operating limitations. This chapter describes how to calculate these conditions for any given aircraft, and what the relevant civil airworthiness standards deem to be maximum acceptable values.
