I'm going to win this. I can feel it in my bones xD

Sent my answers.
What's Vne?

Velocity Never Exceed. This is the maximum speed that a given airplane can go. Going faster than Vne can result in “structural damage.” Please be aware that "structural damage" is very conservative language for "ripping your wings off so you plunge to a horrible death."
