| 41. | In 1958, FAP starts to receive its first North American F-86F Sabre transonic jet fighters.
|
| 42. | A linear speedup has been demonstrated for a fluid-structure interaction problem and for a transonic airfoil.
|
| 43. | An intermediate step between Panel Codes and Full Potential codes were codes that used the Transonic Small Disturbance equations.
|
| 44. | The supercritical design promised to greatly lower transonic drag, as much as a swept wing in some situations.
|
| 45. | In the early years, research at Wallops concentrated on obtaining aerodynamic data at transonic and low supersonic speeds.
|
| 46. | Speed was equally poor; even at full thrust the plane was barely transonic at Mach 0.83.
|
| 47. | Reference results for the drag coefficient of a transonic airfoil, based on a large number of CFD simulations.
|
| 48. | Ongoing research yields software that improves the accuracy and speed of complex simulation scenarios such as transonic or turbulent flows.
|
| 49. | Further experience and research during World War II later established that swept wings would give better performance at transonic speeds.
|
| 50. | In transonic flight, wave drag is commonly referred to as "'transonic compressibility drag " '.
