Compressibility effects are conventionally taken to become significant above a Mach number of about

  • A.0.8
  • B.1.0
  • C.0.3
  • D.0.1

Answer: C

Below about Mach 0.3 the density change across the flow field is under five per cent, small enough that treating the air as incompressible introduces little error. The figure is a convention rather than a physical threshold, and the choice of five per cent is what fixes it at roughly 0.3.
