For which of these Mach numbers is flow considered to be hypersonic?(a) M < 1(b) M = 1(c) M > 5(d) 1 < M < 5The question was posed to me at a job interview.I need to ask this question from Hypersonic Flow topic in division Transonic and Hypersonic Flows of Aerodynamics |

Answer» CORRECT option is (c) M > 5 Easiest explanation: FLOW with Mach number less than 1 is known as subsonic flow. Mach number greater than 1 is considered to be supersonic flow with sonic flow at Mach = 1. After Mach greater than 5, the flow properties change drastically and is known as hypersonic flow. |
