The SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest production plane capable of reaching speeds of more than Mach 3, roughly 3000 kph. If a Blackbird is cruising at a speed of 536 m/s an altitude of 35,121 ft and assuming it produces a Normal Shockwave in the process, what would be its downstream Mach number? Note: Specific Heat of Air, R = 287 J/kg*K Specific Heat ratio, Y = 1.4
