In a graph of horsepower versus speed, the point where the power available and the power required curves cross. Above that speed, more power is required than available.

How fast is a Cessna 172?
160 knots or 185 miles per hour (max or "never exceed speed") this aircraft is not capable of this speed in level flight. The maximum speed in level flight is around 125 knots.
What is an absolute ceiling?
An absolute ceiling is the maximum altitude above sea level at which an aircraft or missile can maintain horizontal flight under normal conditions.
What determines the number and type of operation support facility requirements?
Aircraft and maintenance level
What is the lift force in an aircraft?
The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.
If an accelerometer reads plus 1g the aircraft is?
When the aircraft is in straight & level flight , accelerometer reads 1g , as the aircraft comes to land on the ground 1g tuns to ZERO
Maximum altidude for military jet?
The maximum altitude of any military aircraft is dependent on many things including the type of craft. The maximum altitude for a military jet is approximately 60 thousand feet. At that level the flight crew will need special equipment to allow them to breathe and stay conscious in the thin air.
What is datum reference line in aircraft?
Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal measurements are taken with the aircraft in a level flight attitude.
What is a light sport aircraft?
It is an airplane that has a take-off weight not heavier than 560 kilograms (1,200 lb); a maximum of two seats; a maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power (Vh) of 138 mph (120 knots) CAS; fixed undercarriage; an unpressurized cabin; and a single non-turbine engine driving a propeller if it is a powered aircraft. Check the related link for more information.
What is maximum altitude?
There are two types of maximum altitude. The first is set by the FAA and is known as Service Ceiling and the second is the maximum altitude, above sea level, at which an aircraft can maintain horizontal flight under standard atmospheric conditions. This is called Absolute Ceiling. Absolute ceiling is also affected by another factor: weight.
What is the definition of straight and level-flight?
I assume you're referring to an aircraft. Straight and level flight is achieved in an aeroplane, glider or airborne vehicle when lift is approximately equal to drag - eg. The craft is not rising or descending, providing the 'level flight'. In addition, the roll of the aircraft is usually neutral, providing the 'straight', and thrust is approx. equal to drag to maintain a constant speed.
When an airplane is flying straight and level what can be said about the forces on an airplane?
the forces are equal to balance the aircraft in flight
What force pulls an aircraft toward the ground acts against the force of lift in level flight?
Gravity
