>>>Lets see if we can put this subject to rest.  The relationship between max
range and max endurance is given by

Speed for Best Range=Speed for Max L/D
Speed for Longest Endurance= Speed for Max L/D Divided by 1.316

We can also discuss the optimal cruise speed, which results in the minimum fuel flow per knot of airspeed. This is given by

VmaxL/D*1.316.

Tom, Fili, et al...

Thanks for setting the record straight.  I humbly stand corrected and am pleased that we have finally gotten to the bottom of this issue.
