To achieve supersonic speed, the airframe must withstand adverse aerodynamic effects due to the transonic aerodynamic effects of the transonic movement of air. The aerodynamic drag significantly ...

Up to now the best results have been obtained with PSP in transonic speed ranges because of the high absolute pressure differences. The main challenge to get acceptable PSP results on one hand is the ...

explored transonic and low supersonic speeds. On October 14, 1947, the X-1 reached Mach 1.06, the first aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in controlled level flight. Number built: 3.

Area ruling, which reduces drag at transonic speeds ... they came down to Earth—taking the land-speed record from Britain and bringing it back to the United States. The stage was Utah’s ...

In the department of High Speed Configurations, we investigate the aerodynamics of aircraft and missiles at transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flight speeds. We develop know-how and innovative ...
