VNE/MNE
Never Exceed Speed or Match Number is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time.
VNO
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution.
VS
Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
VSO
Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration.
VX
Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain of altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance.
VY
Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time.
