If an airfoil is operating at Mach 1.1, then it is working in _____(a) transonic range(b) supersonic range(c) subsonic range(d) hypersonic rangeI got this question in examination.My query is from Airfoil Selection-2 topic in chapter Airfoil and Geometry Selection of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) TRANSONIC RANGE

For EXPLANATION: Based on mach number flow can be subsonic, SUPERSONIC, transonic or hypersonic. If flow mach number is <0.8 then it is subsonic. If flow mach number is >0.8 but <1.2 then, it is transonic. If flow mach number is in the range of 1.2-5.0 then, it is supersonic. If flow mach number is <5.0 then, it is hypersonic.
