Good video! As a fellow aerospace engineer would say tho, try not to mix sonic cones with vapour cone images (3:55) because people generally think they're the same thing meaning that if they dont see a vapour cone, the plane isn't going supersonic

[atlesstrup]

Just a heads up the clip at 2:30 of the f15 is not flying supersonic as you Can hear the jet before if passes the camera

Thank you so much for your very detailed and easily to understand what you are talking about!!

[randywest]

The F4 Phantom is my favorite. I love how how it looks, an absolute warhorse.

Getting better and better!! Nice intro and outro.
(You're like a Destin Junior!)
Nice audio levels match - and warning on screen!
Your instructors did an excellent job - with an excellent student. That's the best explanation of shock wave I've ever watched; nice graphics and pics.
Going through your playlist - comments help I think.

Just found you. Great video. F-104 Star Fighter. Limited to Mach 2.2 due to inlet air temp on the engines. Of course the SR71 Blackbird

This is a great video that explains this with some great entertainment! I want to go Hypersonic!

Well explained, but I would say that a compressible fluid is always compressible, your tire-pump is not transonic. A more correct statement would be that a compressible fluid might be treated as incompressible below 0.3 Mach under most circumstances. What is the more confusing statement for the laymen is an other question though.

Do you think a hypersonic aircraft will ever be developed? Or any in the making?

[davidcrosby]

I retract my earlier statement about you sounding like you were in a bathroom I see I just didn't watch enough videos and you've already improved in that area😊

[karissagagnon]

Any good text books I can read more about this you can recommend ?

[stachowi]

Do a video about the Darkstar Hypersonic aircraft in Top Gun Maverick... i'm sure it will do well with the algorithm.

[monnattsgaming]

Idk why but ur voice i can from both ear as if its 8D audio

[techphile]

can a human inside a super sonic or hyper sonic craft survive super sonic and hyper sonic speeds men does speeds ae crazy !

I need to complain about the metric pun at the start…

Just don’t forget to thank the German/nazi engineers for helping with the A-bomb and your rocket program… after u guys decoded the metric of course. ✌🏼
