What is Shock Wave? | Understanding Supersonic Flow and Shock Wave Formation | Effects of Shock Wave

Hi. In this video we look at what is supersonic flow and the formation of shock waves when an aircraft flies at supersonic speed. We see what causes the shock wave to form and the types of shock waves.

We look at the aerodynamic changes that happen because of this shock wave, which is a major factor why almost all aircraft fly in subsonic speeds.
We also see some general design considerations for supersonic aircraft.
