V2 speed is defined as?

V2 speed is defined as?

• A. Takeoff safety speed
• B. Maximum operating limit
• C. Climb speed after engine failure
• D. Approach speed

Answer: (C)

V2 is the speed at which the aeroplane can safely continue the takeoff with one engine inoperative and achieve the required climb gradient. In other words, it’s the minimum climb speed available after an engine failure during takeoff, ensuring you maintain control and can clear obstacles as you climb with the remaining thrust. This makes V2 specifically about engine-out performance during takeoff. The other ideas describe different speeds: the maximum operating limit is about the upper speed limit of the airframe, and approach speed relates to landing. Takeoff safety speed is related to safe operation on one engine, but the defining concept here is the ability to climb with an engine out.
