At a true airspeed of \( 130 \ \mathrm{m/s} \), the propeller of the previous question has a resultant tip speed of approximately

  • A.250 m/s
  • B.344 m/s
  • C.84 m/s
  • D.214 m/s

Answer: A

The two components are perpendicular, so the resultant is \( \sqrt{214^2 + 130^2} \approx 250 \) metres per second. Compressibility losses begin well below the speed of sound, which is why the margin matters even at this speed.
