Which of these techniques is employed to delay the critical Mach number?(a) Increasing the thickness of airfoil(b) Swept wing(c) Increase camber(d) Decrease drag – divergence Mach numberI have been asked this question in an interview.The query is from Critical Mach Number in portion Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) SWEPT wing

The best I can explain: There are two ways employed to increase the critical Mach number thereby INCREASING drag – divergence Mach number. First is to reduce the thickness of the AIRFOIL, and SECOND is to add sweep to the wing.
