Several good recent gouges at

Can you explain Minimum Unstick speed?


minimum unstick speed, Vmu, defines the point at which the aircraft could take off if the maximum possible rotation angle were reached. This maximum angle would occur if the tail of the plane were to actually scrape the ground.

Since such a takeoff would be damaging to the plane and most unnerving to passengers, the aircraft actually lifts off at a slightly greater velocity called the liftoff speed, Vlof. Liftoff speed must be at least 10% greater than Vmu when all engines are operating and 5% greater when one engine has failed.
