Is there a large difference between being ejected at mach 3 or mach 10? The heat is probably unpleasant after a while but wouldn't be the strongest drag force be felt around mach 1? Different mechanism but imagining a kung-fu master breaking a steel bar with his pinky right now...
- zardo 4y agoPretty sure drag keeps going up the faster you go. Naively 3X speed should equate to 9X drag force and 9X heat generation.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoI think the drag coefficient as a derivation of drag peaks around supersonic speed but I am not sure about it. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/79732/why-does-drag-coefficient-decrease-with-mach-number-in-the-supersonic-regime https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/79732/why-does-... Not sure what zero lift means in this context, perhaps the drag induced by lift is neglected. It is still > 0 so drag does still increase...
