Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.8P
The result from Problem 12.6 demonstrates that maximum lift-to-drag ratio decreases as the Mach number increases. This is a fact of nature that progressively causes designers of supersonic airplanes grief as they strive toward aerodynamically efficient airplanes a higher supersonic Mach numbers. What physics is nature using against the airplane designer in this case, and how might the designer meet this challenge?
