Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 13P
Actual performance characteristics of the Lockheed SR–71 “Blackbird” reconnaissance aircraft never were released. However, it was thought to cruise at M = 3.3 at 85,000 ft altitude. Evaluate the speed of sound and flight speed for these conditions. Compare to the muzzle speed of a 30-06 rifle bullet (700 m/s).

- Long flights at midlatitudes in the Northern Hemisphere encounter the jet stream, an eastward airflow that can affect a plane's speed relative to Earth's surface. If a pilot maintains a certain speed relative to the air (the plane's airspeed), the speed relative to the surface (the plane's ground speed) is more when the flight is in the direction of the jet stream and less when the flight is opposite the jet stream. Suppose a round-trip flight is scheduled between two cities separated by 3200 km, with the outgoing flight in the direction of the jet stream and the return flight opposite it. The airline computer advises an airspeed of 810 km/h, for which the difference in flight times for the outgoing and return flights is 72 min.
