The Mach cone half-angle at \( M = 1.6 \) is nearest to

  • A.38.7 degrees
  • B.51.3 degrees
  • C.30.0 degrees
  • D.19.5 degrees

Answer: A

From \( \sin\mu = 1/1.6 = 0.625 \), the half-angle is \( 38.7 \) degrees. A wing leading edge would therefore have to be swept more than \( 90 - 38.7 = 51.3 \) degrees to stay subsonic at this speed, less sweep than the Mach 2 case demands.
