So we know that "as we approach" Mach 1 this applies. We also know that as
we approach higher speeds air resistance is the main force to overcome. My
thought is does this have any application to the special construction cars at
the speeds they travel, as breaking this barrier is a gradual build up of
pressure, and any way to diminish this , even at half or less, of Mach 1, has
to
be positive, in the same vein as reducing any air resistance.
