max Maximum; CLB, CRZ add climb, cruise.
Maxaret Pioneer (Dunlop) anti-skid system for wheel
brakes.
max chat Maximum power (colloq.).
max-des Maximum rate of descent mode.
maxed out 1 Total overload of brain of jet pilot in
combat.
2 Electronic processor with no available capacity.
3 Nation unable to commit any more armed force to
trouble spot.
maxi Top RPV class, on basis of weight, altitude and
speed; all are high-altitude jets.
Maxi decoy ECM payload, originally bronze model
aircraft with radar cross-section identical to attack
aircraft.
maximum authorized altitude Highest altitude on airway
jet route or any other direct route for which MEA (1) is
designated in FAR.95 at which navaid reception is
assured (FAA).
maximum boom-free speed Mach limit at high altitude to
avoid shock reaching ground, variable with atmosphere in
region of M 1.12.
maximum chamber pressure Peak pressure in complete
firing cycle of solid-propellant motor, symbol Pc max.
maximum C L Value at peak of curve where dC L /dx=0,
hence * angle of attack.
maximum climb thrust For most jet engines, achieved by
advancing throttle to obtain a predetermined EPR.
maximum cold thrust Highest thrust without using
(available) afterburner.
maximum contingency Highest output turboshaft
(rarely, other type of engine) can deliver or is authorized
to deliver, usually for 2½ min. following failure of other
engine of multi-engine aircraft; usually requires subsequent
inspection.
maximum continuous Thrust or rpm limit available for
unlimited period, usually using rich mixture if piston
engine and all augmentation for gas turbine; often available
for certification or emergency only.
maximum cruise rating Highest power without augmentation
or [piston engine] rich mixture; often this is highest
available for normal continuous operation.
maximum cruise thrust Same as max climb procedure.
maximum cruising speed Highest speed permitted
(usually in flight manual) for sustained operation;
normally expressed as EAS or CAS, occasionally only as
Mach.
maximum demonstrated Precise limit [of whatever parameter]
available to test pilot when aircraft is being
certificated.
maximum diving speed Highest speed demonstrated in
certification (see V DF ).
maximum effort Using every aircraft that can be made
serviceable, though usually without addition to list of
allowable deficiencies.
maximum elevation figure Published height AMSL [in
US in ft] of highest point in local area or other prescribed
region.
maximum except takeoff Highest available piston
engine power other than takeoff rating.
maximum expected operating pressure Peak (or 1.1 times
peak) of pressure throughout burn of solid motor.
maximum gross weight US term = MTOW.
maximum landing weight MLW, certified value above
which fuel must be jettisoned or burned off if landing
becomes urgently necessary and possible structural
damage is to be avoided.
maximum likelihood A standard method of deriving
stability and control plus cost function [difference
between measured and estimated response, summed over
time].
maximum loaded weight To avoid confusion, now
generally replaced by MRW.
maximum material condition That in which a feature of
size contains the maximum permissable amount of
material, e.g. a hole on the minimum permitted diameter.
maximum mean camber Maximum camber of median
line of wing sections from root to tip.
maximum net weight Allowable payload of baggage
trolley or other surface vehicle = maximum gross minus
tare.
maximum on ground Overall size of ‘spot’ on ground
needed for landing, unloading and take-off of airlifter,
probably in haste (under enemy fire). Most studies
demand so many MOG Spots that STOVL capability is
essential.
maximum operating Mach number Self-explanatory, but
still less than M NE .
maximum payload Limit for transport as defined in
certification. For cargo aircraft usually same as maximum
structural payload; for all-pax configuration, usually
established by seat configuration at much lower value.
maximum performance takeoff That in which energy
transfer is at highest possible rate, usually limited by
sliding of locked tyres and avoidance of striking tail on
runway or exceeding gear-down EAS.
maximum power For propulsion engine, power under
ISA/SL conditions with engine operating at authorized
limits of rpm, pressures and temperatures. See previous
‘maximum’ entries.
maximum power altitude Lowest altitude at which full
throttle is permissible (some definitions add: at maximum
rpm for level flight); for supercharged piston engine,
