43Sonic boom — The term sonic boom is commonly used to refer to the shocks caused by the supersonic flight of an aircraft. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created… …
44Wave drag — is an aerodynamics term that refers to a sudden and very powerful form of drag that appears on aircraft and blade tips moving at high subsonic and supersonic speeds. Overview Wave drag is caused by the formation of shock waves around the aircraft …

47Busemann's Biplane — is a conceptual airframe design invented by Adolf Busemann which inherently prohibits the formation of N type shock waves and thus does not create a sonic boom.It consists of two triangular cross section plates a certain distance apart, with flat …
48CRESU experiment — The CRESU experiment (meaning Cinétique de Réaction en Ecoulement Supersonique Uniforme, or Reaction Kinetics in Uniform Supersonic Flow) is an experiment investigating chemical reactions taking place at very low temperatures.The technique… …
49Solar wind — For other uses, see Solar wind (disambiguation). The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 1.5 and 10 keV. The stream of …
50Propelling nozzle — A propelling nozzle is a component of a jet engine that is found at the tail of the engine that operates to form an exhaust jet and to maximise the use of the exhaust gas s energy throughout the engine so that the maximum overall thrust is… …
