Question
What is critical Mach?
The maximum mach number before the aircraft experiences structural failure
Minimum mach number to maintain level flight
Airspeed where the entire wing is equal to or greater than sonic speed
Mach number where the maximum local velocity on the aircraft equals sonic speed
The maximum mach number before the aircraft experiences structural failure
Minimum mach number to maintain level flight
Airspeed where the entire wing is equal to or greater than sonic speed
Mach number where the maximum local velocity on the aircraft equals sonic speed
Explanation / Answer
In aerodynamics, the critical Mach number of an aircraft is the lowest Mach number at which the airflow over some point of the aircraft is equal to the speed of sonic. But it doesn't exceed the sonic speed.
Therefore the correct option is,
Mach number where the maximum local velocity on the aircraft equals sonic speed
