An aircraft can fly too fast but this is not usually termed overspeed which is a term more usually used in relation to engines. See overspeed (engine). Note that the Vne article does not mention the term "overspeed". This article would be better deleted and the very few articles which link here should link intstead to Vne.

Note also that there is no one speed which is too fast for an aircraft in all circumstances. There is e.g. also Va. Paul Beardsell 07:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
The term 'overspeed' ,at least on the MD-88, (and sister aircraft 82, etc--) is a specific waring given by the automated flight systems when a pilot exceeds the airspeed that the aircraft is set to detect. This relates to stability of aircraft, frame, flight, etc. It is one of a number of emergency warnings that can be sounded out by the ACFT, such as 'pull up,' etc as such it does have encyclopedic value. In other words if you should exceed this airspeed, there is no way unless you are deaf, and in some cases blind to a red cockpit, that you will know, on equipped ACFT. (The more appropriate term than 'speed' would be 'velocity,' as far as I have experienced it relates ONLY to airspeed, with the sole purpose of protecting the aircraft from stress it cannot or should not handle, remember it is a vector so x+y+z. Speed relative to ground is of no interest or meaning, here. Most aircraft can land at/or near full speed, the limiting factor is the length of runway, and to a lesser extent the tire wear, on the landing-gear. Here you could go too fast for the runway and never receive a warning, so when landing at a short and difficult to approach runway, always be mindful of wind and ground speed, i.e. look up landing at Toncontin on youtube and you see why... (Amongst others there is an AA video of a 73X that only makes it on third attempt.) Kris
--->read above ---->::: Strongly recommend this article be nominated for deletion as it has no encyclopedic value. The term "overspeed" is very broad in meaning and while it may sometimes be used by journalists in reference to aircraft is not part of the lexicon of pilots or the aviation industry in general.
