The expression for power required is derived in this video for an airplane in steady level flight. The minimum point of this curve is found to get the velocity at which the aircraft must fly for minimum power. The power available for propeller and jet engine type of aircraft is presented. The maximum velocity at which the airplane can fly is obtained as the points where the power required and power available curve intersect.
