What is the maximum speed for the windshield wipers?

The maximum speed for the windshield wipers on the CRJ550 is 250 knots. This specification ensures that the wipers function effectively in various weather conditions without risking mechanical failure or damage. Operating within this speed limit is critical because exceeding it can lead to potential issues such as the wipers becoming dislodged from their mounting or experiencing reduced performance in clearing the windshield. Each aircraft system, including the windshield wipers, is designed with specific operational limits, and knowing these limits is vital for safe and efficient aircraft operation.
