Vx: -Best/max angle of climb speed, climb at slower speed but steeper angle -Max obstacle clearance -Speed for which the ratio of climb & forward speed is maximum -Max excess thrust (thrust available - thrust required = max = best angle) -Max obstacle clearance with no high lift devices, may be lower or equal to   Vy: -Best rate of climb speed, climb at shallower angle but reach altitude faster -Speed for best rate of climb, maximum height in shortest time -Maximum excess power (power available - power required = max = best R/C) Jets: - VMD = min thrust required/min drag speed (Min thrust = min drag) - Best angle of climb Vx = VMD = Best endurance = speed for max L/D = Holding speed - Best rate of climb Vy = 1.32V mD = speed for best range = Best EAS/Drag ratio = Best NAM/kg Propeller: -Best angle of climb Vx = Vmp = Best endurance -Best rate of climb Vy = VmD = Best range = speed for max L/D Glide: -VMP: For maximum glide endurance (Both jets & prop) min ROD -VMD: Minimum drag for maximum range (Glide further) proportional to aircraft mass
