supersonically

The stationary Collector reversed the process, the air moving supersonically.

For a long time it was assumed that powerful sources would expand supersonically, pushing a shock through the external medium.

In simpler terms, a blast wave is an area of pressure expanding supersonically outward from an explosive core.

Galin must be rotating supersonically in his grave - if he's got one!"

"Supersonically paced ... This is a seriously good book."

This is not ideal for ballistics, especially supersonically where a higher fineness ratio is desirable.

They lowered silently, supersonically.

In the late 1950s, it was proposed to build supersonic passenger aircraft to fly supersonically all over the world, into and out of every major city.

This CD process is more efficient than allowing a convergent nozzle to expand supersonically externally.

An aircraft that can accelerate past this speed sees a significant drag decrease, and can fly supersonically with improved fuel economy.

Since gravity weakens as distance from the Sun increases, the outer coronal atmosphere escapes supersonically into interstellar space.

He speaks supersonically (in Spanish, English or French), juggling a cup of espresso with a cellphone proffered every few minutes by a secretary.

But the slender, needle-nosed planes had limited passenger capacity, guzzled fuel rapaciously and caused sonic booms that made it impossible to fly supersonically over land.

However, due to the way lift is generated supersonically, the lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft as a whole drops, leading to lower range, offsetting or overturning this advantage.

The projectile, which is shaped like a ramjet core, is fired by another means (e.g., a light gas gun) supersonically through the first diaphragm into the tube.

Bow shocks will occur if the interstellar medium is moving supersonically "toward" the sun, since its solar wind moves "away" from the sun supersonically.

Betelgeuse is travelling supersonically through the interstellar medium at a speed of 30 km per second (i.e. 6.3 AU per year) creating a bow shock.

Following the entry into production of the F-16, they began work on an improved fighter design with the ability to cruise supersonically over enemy territory for a minimum of twenty minutes.

The sonic boom generated by travelling at supersonic speed can cause great discomfort for people on the ground, which was why Concorde was prohibited from flying supersonically over land.

And it can fly supersonically using only its normal engines; with no gas-guzzling afterburners to feed, it can go much farther at such speeds than any of today's machines.

This, along with careful shaping of the fuselage, was able to control the shift in the center of pressure caused by the highly-swept forward part of the wing developing lift supersonically.

Orville Wright lived until 1948, a year after Chuck Yeager became the first man to fly supersonically; Yeager, I saw, was billed to give a talk at the museum.

Whether or not a radio source is expanding supersonically, it must do work against the external medium in expanding, and so it puts energy into heating and lifting the external plasma.

"Personally," Mr. Hefner said, "I think you and I will be able to ride supersonically in the year 2000, as cheaply as we could in an old fashioned subsonic jet."

She jerked away from the opening as the invaders returned fire, furious at the death of their comrade; she could actually hear cracks as the bullets streaked supersonically past her head, making mini-sonic booms.
