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. All current civil aircraft, including airliners, helicopters, future passenger drones, personal air vehicles and airships, as well as many ...
The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV).. The A-7 was developed during the early 1960s as replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk.
The JSX-1 is a single place, single engine jet aircraft similar in design to an Onex, with a Waiex style Y tail, fixed main landing gear and a retractable nosewheel. Introduced at AirVenture 2009, it is powered by a Czech-built PBS TJ100 turbojet engine mounted above the aft fuselage, with the exhaust exiting between the Y-tail.
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). In service since 1977, it is named after the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, but is commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or simply "Hog". [3]
Sea Harrier FA2 ZA195 (upgrade) vector thrust nozzle – distinguishing feature of the jump jet Locations of the four nozzles at the sides of the Pegasus engine.. The Sea Harrier is a subsonic aircraft designed for strike, reconnaissance and fighter roles. [21]
The jet velocity exceeds the speed of a subsonic aircraft by too great an amount to be an economical method of subsonic aircraft propulsion. The purpose behind the jet engine is to convert fuel energy into kinetic energy of the cycle air but after the thrust-producing momentum has appeared the unwanted byproduct is the wake velocity which ...
Footage from deep in the Pacific Ocean has given the first detailed look at three World War II aircraft carriers that sank in the pivotal Battle of Midway and could help solve mysteries about the ...
Rendering of an early design of the XB-1 demonstrator. The design was unveiled in Denver, Colorado, on November 15, 2016, [4] and it was initially intended to make its first subsonic flight in late 2017, powered by three General Electric CJ610 (the civilian version of the J85) turbojet engines, with subsequent supersonic flight test planned elsewhere.
