If you look in books on aerodynamics, you'll find that air is effectively an incompressible fluid at low speeds, such as those encountered in small aircraft. It isn't until you get to the transonic range that compression starts to be an issue, and the rules change substantially at and beyond the speed of sound. Have you ever looked in a book? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Anthony, my boy, your interpretation is incorrect. At Mach, the air has
compressed as much as it can, which is why it takes so much energy to force a solid object through Mach. You have the concepts reversed in your head.

If it were compressed as much as it could be, it would be a liquid. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Wrong yet again! Wow, you're batting 1000! Most of the gases in air
require cooling in addition to compression to liquefy. Rip Mxsmanic wrote: rq3 writes: Anthony, my boy, your interpretation is incorrect.

Again, actually he doesn't.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
