Russ;
No, I didn't consider transonic speeds-- most of us are not close enough to
that region to worry about it. BTW; did you ever see that old movie called
"Transonic Flight" (of wind-tunnel tests) that was produced out by Shell
Oil? It showed exactly what you referred to-- scary.

Neil:
aero lift will make a "step increase" as airflow exceeds the velocity of
sound in an area where the propagated waves will strike the down-facing skin
surfaces.

Surely you know this, but weren't considering speeds this high--??

Arne (007);
I can't think of a case where lift would develop suddenly; it goes as the
square of the speed, so a warning that too much lift was developing could be
seen in the lower-pass runs by looking at that data after the run.
