Autopilot
An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required.

Center of mass
In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero, or the point where if a force is applied it moves in the direction of the force without rotating.

Concorde
The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde is a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated from 1976 until 2003.

Critical Mach number
In aerodynamics, the critical Mach number (Mcr or M*) of an aircraft is the lowest Mach number at which the airflow over some point of the aircraft reaches the speed of sound, but does not exceed it.

Inertia coupling
In aeronautics, inertia coupling is a potentially catastrophic phenomenon of high-speed flight in which the inertia of the heavier fuselage overpowers the aerodynamic stabilizing forces of the wing and empennage.

Interceptor aircraft
An interceptor aircraft, or simply interceptor, is a type of fighter aircraft designed specifically to attack enemy aircraft, particularly bombers and reconnaissance aircraft, as they approach.

Naval architecture
Naval architecture, or naval engineering, along with automotive engineering and aerospace engineering, is an engineering discipline branch of vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the engineering design process, shipbuilding, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and structures.

North American XB-70 Valkyrie
The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie was the prototype version of the planned B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration strategic bomber for the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command.

Nose cone design
Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

Questair Venture
The Questair Venture is a homebuilt aircraft manufactured by Questair at John Bell Williams Airport in Bolton, Mississippi, United States.

Sears–Haack body
The Sears–Haack body is the shape with the lowest theoretical wave drag in supersonic flow, for a given body length and given volume.

Shock wave
In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance.
New!!: Fineness ratio and Shock wave · See more »
Skin friction drag
Skin friction drag is a component of profile drag, which is resistant force exerted on an object moving in a fluid.
New!!: Fineness ratio and Skin friction drag · See more »
Speed of sound
The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium.
New!!: Fineness ratio and Speed of sound · See more »
Supersonic speed
Supersonic travel is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1).
New!!: Fineness ratio and Supersonic speed · See more »
Torque
Torque, moment, or moment of force is rotational force.
New!!: Fineness ratio and Torque · See more »
Wave drag
In aeronautics, wave drag is a component of the aerodynamic drag on aircraft wings and fuselage, propeller blade tips and projectiles moving at transonic and supersonic speeds, due to the presence of shock waves.
