NOTES
Title from title frames
During and just after World War II, the quest for ever faster fighter planes reached an apparent natural barrier - the speed of sound. On approaching this limit, aircraft became unstable and uncontrollable. Discover how a new approach to aircraft design solved the problem of compressibility and shock waves in this transonic region, paving the way for supersonic flight
