The region of flight where the margin between high speed buffet and low speed stall converges.
The air pressure inside the aircraft’s cabin, typically maintained at a comfortable and safe level for passengers and crew.

The asymmetry between the two acting surfaces of an airfoil.
The component of wind velocity perpendicular to the runway or the flight path.
The height above the ground or water of the base of the lowest layer of cloud below 20,000 feet covering more than half the sky.
