Latest Boom Supersonic test paves way for 1st Mach 1 flight
1 day ago · Boom Supersonic. According to Boom Supersonic dynamic pressure is essentially how hard the plane is pushing through the air and as the aircraft approaches Mach 1 this becomes a key factor. “Dynamic pressure and Mach number work together to shape the aircraft’s performance. During flight testing, we carefully expand one parameter at a time—either Mach number or dynamic pressure—in order ...
