"What is Critical Mach Number? ✈️💨 | The Speed Limit Before Shock Waves!"
0How fast can an aircraft go before it hits a wall of air resistance? That limit is called the Critical Mach Number—a key concept in high-speed flight and aircraft design. ✈️⚠️ In this video, we break down what happens when airflow hits Mach 1 and how it impacts performance.
🚀 You’ll learn:
What Critical Mach Number (Mcrit) means and why it matters
How shock waves begin to form even before the aircraft reaches the speed of sound
The aerodynamic changes and wave drag increase near this speed
How engineers use swept wings, supercritical airfoils, and streamlining to delay Mcrit
Real-world examples from both military jets and high-speed airliners
Perfect for aviation enthusiasts, aerospace students, and anyone curious about what limits aircraft speed—and how we push past it.
