Supersonic condensation

2002/06/07 Elhuyar Zientzia

The uniqueness of Prandtl-Glauert causes planes to produce condensation around the speed of sound.

When the number of Machs is 1, the sound waves generated by the planes are amplified by compression, so in low pressure zones the temperature drops sharply and in the presence of humidity condensation occurs.

The condensation cloud generated at this speed has the shape seen in the image, in addition to the blades, appears behind the cab.
