  2. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    An oblique shock at the nose of a T-38 aircraft is made visible through Schlieren photography. An oblique shock wave is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air. It occurs when a supersonic flow encounters a corner that effectively turns the flow into itself and compresses. [1]

  3. Shock stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_stall

    A shock stall is a stall created when the airflow over an aircraft's wings is disturbed by shock waves formed when flying at or above the aircraft's drag divergence Mach number. Shock stall may cause control problem during speed transition (transonic to supersonic). Thin supercritical wing section and swept-back wing can postpone shock stall to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_X-59_QueSST

    The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"), sometimes styled QueSST, is an American experimental supersonic aircraft under development by Skunk Works for NASA's Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project. [2] Preliminary design started in February 2016, with the X-59 planned to begin flight testing in 2021.

  5. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    Schlieren photo/Shadowgraph of the detached shock or bow shockwave around a bullet in supersonic flight, published by Ernst Mach in 1888. Mathematical models, such as computational fluid dynamics, are used for calculating the effects of drag or air resistance; they are quite complex and not yet completely reliable, but research is ongoing. [7]

  6. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In this case, the gas ahead of the shock is stationary (in the laboratory frame) and the gas behind the shock can be supersonic in the laboratory frame. The shock propagates with a wavefront which is normal (at right angles) to the direction of flow. The speed of the shock is a function of the original pressure ratio between the two bodies of gas.

  7. Transonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transonic

    Transonic (or transsonic) flow is air flowing around an object at a speed that generates regions of both subsonic and supersonic airflow around that object. [1] The exact range of speeds depends on the object's critical Mach number, but transonic flow is seen at flight speeds close to the speed of sound (343 m/s at sea level), typically between Mach 0.8 and 1.2.

  8. Mach wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_wave

    Such a shock wave is called a Mach stem or Mach front. Thus, it is possible to have shockless compression or expansion in a supersonic flow by having the production of Mach waves sufficiently spaced (cf. isentropic compression in supersonic flows). A Mach wave is the weak limit of an oblique shock wave where time averages of flow quantities don ...

  9. Shock diamond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_diamond

    Shock diamonds are the bright areas seen in the exhaust of this statically mounted Pratt & Whitney J58 engine on full afterburner.. Shock diamonds (also known as Mach diamonds or thrust diamonds, and less commonly Mach disks) are a formation of standing wave patterns that appear in the supersonic exhaust plume of an aerospace propulsion system, such as a supersonic jet engine, rocket, ramjet ...
