OBS

[Afin d'atteindre la vitesse d'autonomie maximale], l'avion volera assez lentement, avec un minimum de puissance, le nez très haut et les ailes à un grand angle d'attaque. Parce qu'il est trop lent, l'avion ne parcourt pas ainsi une distance bien longue, mais son autonomie est augmentée de façon appréciable.
