Why do fighter jets get 'shock diamonds'?
The interesting aerial phenomena do not substantially impact the fighter jet’s flight—but pilots must be careful with their ...
At Mach 1, shock waves coming off a T-38 (seen using Schlieren photography) will coalesce to form a mighty boom. Along Seawall Boulevard in Galveston, Texas, is a strip of crab shacks, hotels, and ...
The New York Times writes about this exciting image released by NASA on Aug. 25: Exceeding speeds of 760 miles per hour, supersonic jets pierce the sound barrier with a resounding "BOOM!" Now, NASA ...
In supersonic engines, achieving the right flow speed, producing the right ratio of evaporated fuel and causing ignition at the right time is complex. Vortices are affected by the shock wave, and this ...
