In a search for solutions, University of Delaware Associate Professor Joseph Kuehl with the University of Delaware’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is partnering with Thomas Juliano, an ...

Consequently, while the speed of sound is frequently given as 343 m/s (772 mph, or 1,242 kmph), representing room temperature, airplanes can often break Mach 1 at less than 300 m/s.

Strong jet streams across the Atlantic are seeing passenger airplanes knock more than an hour off their flight times, as they hit speeds of 761 mph – the speed of sound. However, they’re not ...

And on Earth, the speed of sound varies depending on the temperature of the air an aircraft is traveling through. Breaking the so-called sound barrier in 1947 made Chuck Yeager famous.

The change in the speed of sound with temperature (about 0.5 m/s for every degree Celsius) is also similar to that on Earth. Unlike on Earth, though, sound speed and attenuation depend greatly on ...

At sea level with a temperature of 15°C (59°F), the speed of sound is around 760 miles per hour. Yet, this can fluctuate significantly, with the speed of sound slowing down the higher up you go ...

Sound waves move more slowly through Mars' atmosphere than they do on Earth.This makes sense, as the speed of sound depends on a range of factors including the density of the material that the ...

They found that sound on Mars travels at 787 feet per second (240 meters per second), which is significantly slower than the sound of speed on Earth at 1,115 feet per second (340 m/s).
