Faster Than Sound written by Bill Gunston and has been published by Haynes Publications this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1992 with Transportation categories.

This account of aviation looks at the theory and implications of the speed of sound and the concept of the sound barrier, together with examining man's attempts to break this barrier. This book covers all aspects of supersonic aircraft - research, military and transport planes - as well as aerospace machines that can operate from ordinary airfields yet fly to the moon, of which the Space Shuttle is an early example. Bill Gunston is the author of Plane Speaking: A Personal View of Aviation History, Giants of the Sky: The Biggest aeroplanes of all Time and Rolls-Royce Aero Engines.

In December 1943, a top secret contract (E.24/43) was awarded to Miles Aircraft. The contract was to build the world's first supersonic jet capable of 1000mph. The only reliable source of data on supersonic objects came from the Armament Research Dept and their wind tunnel tests on ammunition. From this, Miles developed an exceptionally thin-winged, bullet-shaped aircraft. the research was inexplicably passed to the Americans in 1944. By December 1945, one prototype was virtually complete. The second, destined for an attempt at the sound barrier was 80 per cent complete. In February 1946, Capt Eric Brown was confirmed as the test pilot and October 1946 was set for the supersonic trials. However, on 12 February 1946, Miles were ordered to stop production. No plausible explanation was given for the cancellation when Britain was within six months of breaking the sound barrier. Eric Brown and others directly involved including Dennis Bancroft, the Chief Aerodynamicist on the M.52, have now come together to try and finally solve the mystery behind the cancellation.

""Supersonic Flight"" presents a comprehensive exploration of humanity's quest to break the sound barrier and the subsequent evolution of high-speed aviation. The narrative begins with Chuck Yeager's historic 1947 flight in the Bell X-1 and traces the remarkable developments in aerospace technology that followed. Through a blend of declassified documents, technical specifications, and firsthand accounts, the book illuminates how engineers and pilots conquered the seemingly impossible challenge of faster-than-sound travel. The book's chronological approach guides readers from early aerodynamic theories through the Cold War era's rapid technological advancement, examining crucial innovations like swept-wing design and heat-resistant materials. It delves into both military applications, including the development of supersonic fighters like the F-100 Super Sabre and MiG-19, and civilian achievements such as the Concorde. Particularly fascinating is the book's examination of how supersonic flight technology influenced broader historical contexts, including the Cold War arms race and commercial aviation evolution. Written for both aviation enthusiasts and engineering professionals, the work maintains technical accuracy while remaining accessible to general readers. It skillfully balances detailed analysis of aerodynamic principles with engaging human stories from aviation pioneers. The book concludes with a forward-looking perspective on modern supersonic developments, including emerging business jet programs and hypersonic research, making it a valuable resource for understanding both the history and future of high-speed flight.

High-speed flight is a major technological challenge for both commercial and business aviation. As a first step in revitalizing efforts by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to achieve the technology objective of high-speed air travel, NASA requested the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study that would identify approaches for achieving breakthroughs in research and technology for commercial supersonic aircraft. Commercial Supersonic Technology documents the results of that effort. This report describes technical areas where ongoing work should be continued and new focused research initiated to enable operational deployment of an environmentally acceptable, economically viable commercial aircraft capable of sustained supersonic flight, including flight over land, at speeds up to approximately Mach 2 in the next 25 years or less.
