Extract

Aircraft operate within a domain of altitude and Mach number, the limitations to which are prescribed by the present state of technical knowledge. With the perfection of the aircraft gas turbine we have witnessed the boundaries of flight recede beyond the sonic barrier and are now approaching the stage where the vastly improved propulsiorl technique will permit cruising supersonic flight. Several excellent papers referring to this subject have been given.
