How Fast Is Mach 1? August 7, 2007

This PowerPoint(R) program investigates the four important aspects of flight at the speed of sound and beyond: Aerodynamics: What shape will a Mach 1 airplane need to be? Power: How will the airplane be powered? Materials: What will the airplane be made of? Control: Will it go where you want it? Your high-speed experience concludes with a tour of the museum's Mach 3+ SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest jet ever built.
