I have no reason to hate Wednesdays, they're ok.

Calling it a night, goodnight all.

Actually, the B-52 cruises in, and is designed for, transonic flight. The swept wing configuration is a tell-tale sign.

Ah, that's right. I was thinking transonic was 1000 mph and up. I forgot that it was as low as round 600 mph.


And goodnight, Neoflare.

yeah, sometimes a plane can go transonic as low as mach 0.75, which could be around 500 mph.

Why do you hate them?

1. I've never popped a cherry during that particular day of the we-

2. The hospital fuckers keep phoning me to travel 100 miles to go and have a random counseling session that doesn't do jack but eats 60 bucks' worth of my cash anyway

3. The spelling is inconsistent, AND THAT IS A CRIME.

The norm for transonic is mach 0.8 to 0.9, isn't it? I guess I should probably be looking these things up so I don't sound stupid. I don't actually know that much about it.

They're still bugging you I see. Can't you or your grandparents call them off?

CRIME PUNISHABLE BY WHAT?

No, you're completely right. 0.75 is rare, but it has happened. Particularly on WW2 era aircraft where they were capable of flying at those speeds, but they weren't designed with compressible effects in mind.

@Kenshi: It's Wednesday. :3c

I was roleplaying on 4Chan when the thread 404'd. And the plot was actually going somewhere. Oh well.

Night, mortals and Time Lords!

Yeah, my free (Don't)Pay-per-View pr0nz cable TV thing updates on Wednesdays, and I kinda knew that for 13 hours.

Nazi jets that Hitler didn't want to spend the money on to finish. ;)
He might have been able to take back the skies if he had.

Which aircraft could, though? I know sea-fighters such as the F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair couldn't. They were designed for climb and maneuverability.

I know at least one P-38 was lost in an uncontrolled dive, and I think a P-47 was too. The P-51 went well into the transonic region, but it was such a beast that it could handle that shit.

I have to go to bed now because I'm about to fall asleep at the keyboard. Goodnight!
