Difference between Supersonic speed and Transonic

Supersonic speed vs. Transonic

Supersonic travel is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). In aeronautics, transonic (or transsonic) flight is flying at or near the speed of sound (at sea level under average conditions), relative to the air through which the vehicle is traveling.

Similarities between Supersonic speed and Transonic

Supersonic speed and Transonic have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aerodynamics, Area rule, Hypersonic speed, Mach number, Prandtl–Glauert singularity, Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan, Speed of sound.

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics, from Greek ἀήρ aer (air) + δυναμική (dynamics), is the study of the motion of air, particularly its interaction with a solid object, such as an airplane wing.

Area rule

The Whitcomb area rule, also called the transonic area rule, is a design technique used to reduce an aircraft's drag at transonic and supersonic speeds, particularly between Mach 0.75 and 1.2.

Hypersonic speed

In aerodynamics, a hypersonic speed is one that is highly supersonic.

Mach number

In fluid dynamics, the Mach number (M or Ma) is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.

Prandtl–Glauert singularity

The Prandtl–Glauert singularity is the prediction by the Prandtl–Glauert transformation that infinite pressures would be experienced by an aircraft as it approaches the speed of sound.

Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan

A supersonic expansion fan, technically known as Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan, is a centred expansion process that occurs when a supersonic flow turns around a convex corner.

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.

Supersonic speed and Transonic Comparison

Supersonic speed has 70 relations, while Transonic has 18. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 7.95% = 7 / (70 + 18).
