Supersonic Fuselage

Supersonic Speed
Is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds than the Speed of Sound , a.k.a Mach 1. - m/s = 343 - ft/s = 1.125 - mph = 768 - km/h = 1.236 Conditions: - Dry air - Temperature 20oC

Supersonic flight
Supersonic aerodynamics are simpler than subsonic because the airsheets at different points along the plane often can't affect each other. At these speeds aerospace engineers can gently guide air around the fuselage of the aircraft without producing new shock wavess but any change in cross sectional area further down the vehicle leads to shock waves along the body.

The perfect shape

The key to having low supersonic drag is to properly shape the overall aircraft to be long and skinny, and close to a "perfect" shape like the Sears-Haack body.

 Materials used One problem with sustained supersonic flight is the generation of heat in flight. At high speeds aerodynamic heating can occur, so an aircraft must be designed to operate and function under very high temperatures. Duralumin, the traditional aircraft material, starts to lose strength and go into plastic deformation at relatively low temperatures, and is unsuitable for continuous use at speeds above Mach 2.2 to 2.4. Materials such as titanium and stainless steel allow operations at much higher temperatures. For example, the SR-71 Blackbird jet could fly continuously at Mach 3.1 while some parts were above 315C (600F)
