Problem 3. A supersonic airplane is cruising at a Mach number of Ma = 2.2 at an altitude of H = 17 km on a standard day. (a) Calculate the speed, V, of the airplane. (b) Calculate the Mach angle using the temperature at z = H and at sea level. (c) Estimate how long after the aircraft passes directly above a ground observer would hear the sound created by the airplane. (HINT: You can use the average height to estimate the Mach angle.) Recall that for the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, the temperature distribution below H is given by: T = Tom z for 011 km where To = 288.15 K and m = -6.5 K/km; T = 216.65 K for 11 ≤ z < 20.1 km. Problem 3. (a) 649 m/s, (b) 27.0 deg., 31.6 deg., (c) 46.6 s or 48.0 s (depending on method for approximating temperature variation)

Problem 3. A supersonic airplane is cruising at a Mach number of Ma = 2.2 at an altitude of H = 17 km on a
standard day. (a) Calculate the speed, V, of the airplane. (b) Calculate the Mach angle using the temperature at
z = H and at sea level. (c) Estimate how long after the aircraft passes directly above a ground observer would
hear the sound created by the airplane. (HINT: You can use the average height to estimate the Mach angle.)
Recall that for the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, the temperature distribution below H is given by: T = Tom z
for 011 km where To = 288.15 K and m = -6.5 K/km; T = 216.65 K for 11 ≤ z < 20.1 km.
Problem 3. (a) 649 m/s, (b) 27.0 deg., 31.6 deg., (c) 46.6 s or 48.0 s (depending on method for approximating
temperature variation)
