Consider an airplane flying at a velocity of 250 m/s. Calculate its Mach number if it is flying at a standard altitude of (a) sea level, (b) 5 km, (c) 10 km.

5. At 30000ft, estimate the magnitude of transonic drag rise. Using this estimate, calculate the maximum velocity of the airplane at this altitude. Assume drag-divergence Mach number of 0.82 and d(D/D₁)/dM = 14.3 where D₁=1750lb is drag at Mach number 0.9 and D₂ = 4250lb at Mach number 1. 6 Estimate maximum range at 30000€ Also calculate the flight speed to obtain this

On October 3, 1967, pilot William J. "Pete" Knight set a world record that still stands to this day for the fastest flight by a crewed, powered aircraft by flying the North American Aviation X-15 as fast as Mach 6.7 at an altitude of 102,000 ft above sea level. Mach number is the ratio of an object’s velocity to the local speed of sound. Using the table for atmospheric properties with respect to altitude, calculate the speed of sound at an altitude of 100,000 ft. What must have been the velocity of the X-15?
