31
Q

If the temperature is lower, what would happen to the speed of sound?

A

The speed of sound is lower.

32
Q

What is the pressure wave created by an aircraft flying at the speed of sound?

A

Shock wave.

33
Q

Q

What is the Mach number used for?

A

Keep the pilot informed of the relationship between the speed of the aircraft and speed of sound.

35
Q

What is the formula for Mach number (M)?

A

Mach number = Speed of aircraft / speed of sound

36
Q

What speeds of aircraft are in the subsonic region?

A

Below the speed of sound.

A

Some below the speed of sound and some above.

Between critical Mach number and 1.3 Mach

38
Q

What happens in the supersonic region?

A

All speed around the aircraft are higher than the speed of sound

(Mach numbers higher than 1.3)
