T-45A/C TS, ADV & IUT Aero-02
High-Speed Flight

Temperature and
Speed of Sound
(a) Speed of sound depends on air
Relationship
temperature, i.e., at 59 degrees F, the
sea level speed of sound is 662 knots;
at 90 degrees, it is 687 knots; at 32
degrees, it is 643 knots
(b) Speed of sound decreases with
altitude
3.
Compressibility effects occur at lower IAS as altitude
increases

Relationship described by Mach number (the ratio of
true airspeed to the speed of sound)

(1) Flight Mach number at which the first sonic
flow on the aircraft occurs
(2) Important reference point because it is the
