To the Op, honestly, I dont know. I know what Va is, and as one ahs said before its the speed where a stall would occur prior to stuctural failure. Essentially you cannont put enough G's on the aircraft to damage it because you will stall first at and below that speed. As for Vo, i have yet to get a clear answer myself.
