Planes May Travel As Fast As Sound
Dr. Theodore von Karman, speaking at the Joseph Henry lecture, doubts a simple yes or no to flying faster than sound. He notes sound speed near 780 mph at sea level, lower at altitude, and cites divergent nozzles as key to higher velocities while cautioning limits remain uncertain.
