The airframe and engines must withstand these conditions. High-speed propellers face challenges in achieving supersonic flow due to design limitations and the variability of speed on the surface.

Axisymmetric flow dynamics is a critical area of study in fluid mechanics, particularly when examining how fluids behave in both supersonic and subsonic regimes. This field is essential for ...
