near-sonic

Two seconds after the bomb exploded, a forty-metre wall of water moving at near-sonic speed slammed into Durringham.

Hans Wocke was studying the problems of swept wings at the near-sonic speeds of which the new jet engines were capable.

Boeing Sonic Cruiser - near-sonic airliner, canceled.

New Soviet airframe designs from their design bureaus, and near-sonic wing designs were threatening to outstrip development of the jet engines needed to power them.

The first Buccaneers, flown in the late 1950's, were designed for sustained flight at near-sonic speed, according to "Jane's All the World's Aircraft."

After World War II, NACA research began to focus on near-sonic and low-supersonic airflow.

From 1950, North Koreans flew the Soviet-made MiG-15 jet fighters which introduced the near-sonic speeds of swept wings to air combat.

Viewers must imagine the smell of hot metal, the whistles that range from squeaks to near-sonic booms and the sound of wheel on rail, which is said to have inspired boogie-woogie.

The Sonic Cruiser was born from one of numerous outline research and development projects at Boeing with the goal to look at potential designs for a possible new near-sonic or supersonic airliner.

Although intended to be a supersonic fighter, the 0.22 proved unable to exceed the speed of sound (Mach 1) because of the prohibitive drag induced by its non-area-ruled fuselage at near-sonic speeds.

Its boundary - now moving at near-sonic speed in the Jovian atmosphere - still looked curiously fuzzy and out of focus; at the very highest power of the ship's telescope, the reason for this was at last apparent.

Following his research on wings, Whitcomb again turned to a possible complete supercritical aircraft, and in 1971 he published preliminary details of a near-sonic transport (NST), which he predicted could attain a relatively efficient cruise at 0.98 Mach.

With heat transfer in near-sonic speed & the heat spread evenly onto the pipe surface, this amazing tube is widely used for notebook & lap top computers, but never in the history, anyone has come closed to bring this application to the desktop computer.

The F-86E's all-moving tailplane was more effective at speeds near or exceeding the speed of sound, so the plane could safely recover from a sonic dive, where the MiG-15 could not safely exceed Mach 0.92, an important advantage in near-sonic air combat.

Some critics of Hyperloop focus on the experience-possibly unpleasant and frightening-of riding in a narrow, sealed, and windowless capsule inside a sealed steel tunnel, that is subjected to significant acceleration forces, high noise levels due to air being compressed and ducted around the capsule at near-sonic speeds, and the vibration and jostling.
