At transonic speeds, the flow field around the object includes both sub- and supersonic parts.
At transonic and supersonic speeds, very high bypass ratios still present engineering challenges.
It was another two minutes before Lon heard the sounds of aircraft coming in at transonic speeds.
These were believed to be the source of the stability problems at transonic speeds up to Mach 0.9.
This is a powerful form of drag that begins at transonic speeds (around Mach 0.88).
When you are going through transonic speeds, drag increases and it is really hard to go any faster.
The flight was a short one at transonic speed.
These problems were eventually solved as jet aircraft reached transonic and supersonic speeds.
The results of these tests confirmed the drag reduction offered by swept wings at transonic speeds.
For high speed aircraft moving at transonic speeds the effects of compressibility can't be neglected.
