The indicated airspeed at which an aircraft's climb rate is at a maximum.
Vy is a girl's and boy's baby name of Vietnamese origin, a short form of Vietnamese names meaning 'beautiful' or 'elegant.' In Vietnamese American communities, Vy is used both as a standalone name and as a nickname, prized for its brevity and the quiet grace it carries.
Vy was #3067 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #5578, but its charm endures.
