High-Speed Flight
8.
Increased by transonic and supersonic flight

High-Speed Drag
a.
Occurs at the force divergent Mach number and

continues to build
b.
Rate of total aircraft drag rise decreases as the
bow wave attaches
C. Transonic and Supersonic Affects on Stability
1.
Buffeting -- caused by turbulence associated with
Sg 1, fr 16
separation of boundary layers as normal
Airframe Buffeting
compression waves form
2.
Tuck under
a.
Aerodynamic center moves aft, causing a
nose down pitch or "tuck under"
Sg 1, fr 17
Tuck Under
b.
Further increase in flight speed causes a

Midspan Vortex
(a) Strongest lift gradient normally near
