High-speed aircraft interact with the atmosphere in ways that create distinct aerodynamic effects. As these aircraft approach or exceed the speed of sound, they compress the air around them, generating shockwaves that can be visible as vapor trails or Mach cones, especially in humid conditions. • The intense speeds also generate significant friction with the surrounding air, causing high temperatures and requiring specialized materials to withstand the heat. At higher altitudes, where the atmosphere is thinner, high-speed aircraft can fly more efficiently with less air resistance, but they must also rely on pressurization systems and specialized engines to function effectively in low-oxygen environments. • These interactions with the atmosphere are key to both the performance and design of supersonic and hypersonic aircraft. • #detailenjoyer #didyouknow #nowyouknow #jet #mach #speed #aircraft #educational
