  2. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    The subsonic speed range is that range of speeds within which, all of the airflow over an aircraft is less than Mach 1. The critical Mach number (Mcrit) is lowest free stream Mach number at which airflow over any part of the aircraft first reaches Mach 1. So the subsonic speed range includes all speeds that are less than Mcrit. Transonic: 0.8–1.2

  3. Supersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_speed

    Supersonic speed is the speed of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level , this speed is approximately 343.2 m/s (1,126 ft/s; 768 mph; 667.1 kn; 1,236 km/h).

  4. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    The process works by imaging the deflections of light rays that are refracted by a moving fluid, allowing normally unobservable changes in a fluid's refractive index to be seen. [1] Because changes to flow rate directly impact the refractive index of a fluid, one can therefore photograph a fluid's flow rate (as well as other changes to density ...

  5. Eleanor (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_(automobile)

    Both 1971 Mustang Sportsroofs used in the film (neither car has been proven to be a Mach 1, as often assumed) were bought in 1971, but—as it was three years before the film's director H. B. Halicki could raise sufficient funds to start filming—each car was modified with grilles taken from a 1973 model for the film (though each retain the original front bumpers, lower valances, and fenders).

  6. Subsonic aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsonic_aircraft

    Czech subsonic multi-role combat aircraft Aero L-159 ALCA.. A subsonic aircraft is an aircraft with a maximum speed less than the speed of sound (Mach 1). The term technically describes an aircraft that flies below its critical Mach number, typically around Mach 0.8.

  7. Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_Mach_1

    The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a combination performance and appearance package offered as an option for the Ford Mustang in August 1968 for the 1969 model year.. Over the following years, the package was available with various engines that became more modest as emissions controls, unleaded gas, fleet mileage quotas, and higher gasoline prices undercut the "horsepower wars" that were the origin of ...

  8. English Electric Lightning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Electric_Lightning

    The shock cone was strengthened on the later Lightning F.2A, F.3, F.6, and F.53 models, thus allowing routine operation at up to Mach 2.0. [95] The small-fin variants could exceed Mach 1.7, [k] but the stability limits and shock cone thermal and strength limits made such speeds risky. The large-fin variants, especially those equipped with Avon ...

  9. Supercruise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercruise

    It is capable of supercruising at Mach 1.5 with an air superiority missile load. [16] Typhoon pilots have stated that Mach 1.3 is attainable in combat configuration with external stores. [21] The General Electric F414G in the JAS 39 Gripen NG is designed for supercruise and has achieved Mach 1.2, [22] or Mach 1.1 with an air to air missile load ...
