constant speed
Uniform forward motion
Constant speed describes motion that maintains the same rate without acceleration or deceleration.
A car on cruise control travels at constant speed.
The phrase often appears in physics problems and driving contexts: The satellite orbits at a constant speed.
Maintain a constant speed through the curve.
