At \( M = 2 \), a leading edge remains subsonic provided its sweep exceeds

  • A.45 degrees
  • B.75 degrees
  • C.60 degrees
  • D.30 degrees

Answer: C

The Mach angle is \( \arcsin(1/2) = 30 \) degrees, so the Mach cone lies 30 degrees from the flight direction. Measured from the lateral axis in the usual way, the leading edge must be swept more than \( 90 - 30 = 60 \) degrees to hide behind that cone and stay subsonic.
