WHAT ARE SHOCK WAVES ?

In this video, we explain what is the reason shockwaves occur, the effects that accompany it and how the understanding of its behavior has aided in the development of supersonic aircraft from the SR-71, Concorde and many more. We look at why the development of swept wings has aided in reaching faster speeds how the development of swept wings has aided in developing faster aircraft.

If you do have any questions or suggestions do leave a comment in the comment section below. We are looking forward to reading them. Science is all about effective communication and exchange of ideas.

Hope you enjoyed the video!!

Although the channel name is 2brokescientists, we cannot function without the help of our team. Ankith John (   / ankithjohn  ) has brought this video to life with his videography suggestions and painstaking editing. Thanks Ankith!!
