Airspeed, Bernoulli Equation, Isentropic Relations

The document discusses aircraft design topics like standard atmosphere, airspeeds, compressible flow, and supersonic flight. It covers equations for speed of sound, hydrostatic pressure, geopotential altitude, Bernouilli's equation, equivalent airspeed. Compressible flow occurs when densities are no longer constant. Isentropic relationships are important for supersonic flight where the local and overall Mach number must be considered.

Need to keep local mach number on topside of wing less than one
So overall mach number shouldnt be more than 0.85
Supercritical airfoil shapes to keep mach number as high as possible and at the same time keep fuel
burn as low as possible
