I thought this was a fun picture. Once I saw the sunrise, I didn't have much time to position the bolt. The sunrise looked cool.

Before an early flight, I snapped this picture. I find similarities... Both are quite inside. Once the throttles or throttle is advanced, they both excellerate with this smooth, quite, uninterrupted acceleration. The bolt has that none-shifting single gear smoothness. Fun to drive.

Very cool!

Great set of pics.

Agreed, great fun todrive. Bolt that is. It’s a blast approaching a corner using justthe right amount of L mode & paddle. Powering out of the corner tends to spin (w/ stock tire) the unloadedfront wheel, however. Just as well… keeps one from becoming tooaggressive.

What's the rotation speed of the plane?

What's the rotation speed of the plane?

It looks like a Cessna Citation X, so I'm guessing about 130 kts, or 150 mph in Bolt speak.

"V sub-r" is weight dependent, but I suppose 130 (or a little lower) is a good estimate.

The plane is a Citation XLS Plus. Vrotation is 104 knots at a common weight. Add 15 percent and you have 120 mph.
