The study of axisymmetric flow dynamics in both supersonic and subsonic regimes is pivotal in advancing our understanding of fluid behaviour around streamlined bodies and complex geometries. This ...

Jet engines are designed to produce sufficient power to lift the aircraft off the ground and keep it airborne during flight. To achieve this, they must run at very high speeds. The speed of the engine ...

The air inlets were the key factor that helped the J-58 engines to provide 32,000 pounds of thrust and allow the Blackbird to reach Mach 3.2. The Pratt and Whitney J-58 engine was a dual cycle engine, ...

Most people have experienced the sonic boom of a skillfully wielded whip, or the closely related crack of a nearby bolt of lightning. Such sounds have a character that attracts a good deal of ...

Just past the standing figure, a chamber with movable sidewalls controls the Mach number of air entering the diffuser. NASA Glenn In May 1956, Cleveland was hit with record wind storms, and residents ...
