    By definition, at Mach 1, the local flow velocity u is equal to the speed of sound. At Mach 0.65, u is 65% of the speed of sound (subsonic), and, at Mach 1.35, u is 35% faster than the speed of sound (supersonic).

    Since the 'day' conditions are those at entry to the compressor an extremely 'hot' day is produced artificially by the ram temperature rise at high Mach numbers. The aerodynamic speed is low enough, despite the engine running at its 100% rated mechanical speed, to get into the rotating stall region on the map so an engine operating at these ...
