===Outer planets===
Minimum transfer times to the outer planets benefit from using an indirect transfer (solar swing-by).  However, this method results in high arrival speeds.  Slower transfers have lower arrival speeds.

The minimum transfer time to Jupiter for ''a<sub>c</sub>'' of 1&nbsp;mm/s<sup>2</sup> with no departure velocity relative to Earth is 2 years when using an indirect transfer (solar swing-by).  The arrival speed (''V''<span style="font-size:140%;"><sub>∞</sub></span>) is close to 17&nbsp;km/s.  For Saturn, the minimum trip time is 3.3 years, with an arrival speed of nearly 19&nbsp;km/s.<ref name="Wright " />
