For air at \( M = 0.8 \), the ratio of stagnation to static temperature is

  • A.1.128
  • B.1.280
  • C.1.064
  • D.1.200

Answer: A

Applying \( T_0/T = 1 + 0.2M^2 \) gives \( 1 + 0.2 \times 0.64 = 1.128 \). Even at this high subsonic Mach number the temperature rise on bringing the flow to rest is under thirteen per cent, which is why kinetic heating is not a structural concern for subsonic transports.
