Would it be possible to have a computed Mach number to set as a barber pole on the airspeed tape, since this is what drives flutter characteristics?

That's actually a fantastic idea and could be billed by Dynon as a safety benefit...Vne is given by the manufacturer is KIAS at sea level.Skyview can certainly start knocking down the barber pole as the airplane ascends. This is definitely a conservative approach as the manufacturer certainly took into account pilots going at higher altitudes and high speeds but it would help in cases where people put turbochargers or fly at very high altitudes.
