The Quest for Mach One: 0a First-Person Account of Breaking the Sound Barrier

The Quest for Mach One: 0a First-Person Account of Breaking the Sound Barrier more books like this

by Chuck Yeager, Cardenas Yeager, Jack Russell

On October 14, 1947, flying the Bell X-1 rocket plane, Chuck Yeager burst through the mythical sound barrier at mach 1.0, to become the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. Yeager's epic flight was the culmination of hours of work and flying time by a group of dedicated aviation pioneers, and it marked the beginning of flight testing ...

Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves

Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves more books like this

by Richard Courant

The Springer edition of this book is an unchanged reprint of Courant and Friedrich's classical treatise which was first published in 1948. The basic research for it took place during World War II, but there are many aspects which still make the book interesting as a text and as a reference. It treats basic aspects of the dynamics of compressible ...

Turbulent shear layers in supersonic flow

Turbulent shear layers in supersonic flow more books like this

by Alexander J Smits, Jean-Paul Dussauge

A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over the surfaces of supersonic aircraft, and in the internal flow through the engines. Our ability to predict the aerodynamic lift, drag, propulsion and maneuverability of high ...
