رقم ماخ
رقم ماخ (الماخ Ma ) هو مقياس سرعة عديم الوحدة سُمّي على اسم الفيزيائي والفيلسوف النمساويّ إرنست ماخ Ernst Mach.
يعرّف رقم ماخ على أنّه نسبة السرعة المحلّيّة لجسم مائع إلى سرعة الصوت في الجسم المائع ذاته. هذه السرعة المحلّة للجسم المائع تتأتّى من قذيفةٍ أو جسمٍ ما في الهواء أو السوائل كما قلنا (الجسم المائع). فيستعمل هذا المصطلح للأجسام التي تسير بسرعة كبيرة كالطائرات النفاثة مثلاً أو سرعة الهواء داخل قنوات التجارب الهوائية ومطاحن الرياح.
حيث
- هو عدد ماخ
- هو سرعة المصدر (الغرض، بالنسبة للوسط) و
- سرعة الصوت في الوسط
تكون سرعة الماخ-واحد على مستوى سطح البحر 1225 كيلومتر/ساعة أي 765.6 ميل/ساعة أو بالأحرى 340 مترًا / ثانية تقريبًا، ويتغيّر هذا الرقم أيضًا باختلاف درجة الحرارة والضغط الجوّ. ولعلّ الملاحظة صحيحة، بأنّ السوط هو أوّل جسم أنتجه الإنسان وتزيد سرعته عن سرعة الصوت.
لأن الماخ عديم الوحدة، توضع عدد المرّات لسرعة ماخ خلف الكلمة، فنقول مثلاً 1-ماخ و2-ماخ و3-ماخ... إلخ.

While the terms "subsonic" and "supersonic" in the purest verbal sense refer to speeds below and above the local speed of sound respectively, aerodynamicists often use the same terms to talk about particular ranges of Mach values. This occurs because of the presence of a "transonic regime" around M = 1 where approximations of the Navier-Stokes equations used for subsonic design actually no longer apply, the simplest of many reasons being that the flow locally begins to exceed M = 1 even when the freestream Mach number is below this value.
Meanwhile, the "supersonic regime" is usually used to talk about the set of Mach numbers for which linearised theory may be used, where for example the (air) flow is not chemically reacting, and where heat-transfer between air and vehicle may be reasonably neglected in calculations.
In the following table, the "regimes" or "ranges of Mach values" are referred to, and not the "pure" meanings of the words "subsonic" and "supersonic".
Generally, NASA defines "high" hypersonic as any Mach number from 10 to 25, and re-entry speeds as anything greater than Mach 25. Aircraft operating in this regime include the Space Shuttle and various space planes in development.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
تحت صوتية Subsonic |
<0.8 | <610 | <980 | <270 | Most often propeller-driven and commercial turbofan aircraft with high aspect-ratio (slender) wings, and rounded features like the nose and leading edges. |
عبر صوتية Transonic |
0.8-1.2 | 610-915 | 980-1,470 | 270-410 | Transonic aircraft nearly always have swept wings, delaying drag-divergence, and often feature design adhering to the principles of the Whitcomb Area rule. |
فوق صوتية Supersonic |
1.2–5.0 | 915-3,840 | 1,470–6,150 | 410–1,710 | Aircraft designed to fly at supersonic speeds show large differences in their aerodynamic design because of the radical differences in the behaviour of flows above Mach 1. Sharp edges, thin aerofoil-sections, and all-moving tailplane/canards are common. Modern combat aircraft must compromise in order to maintain low-speed handling; "true" supersonic designs include the F-104 Starfighter, SR-71 Blackbird and BAC/Aérospatiale Concorde. |

هائلة السرعة High-hypersonic |
10.0–25.0 | 7,680–16,250 | 12,300–30,740 | 3,415–8,465 | Thermal control becomes a dominant design consideration. Structure must either be designed to operate hot, or be protected by special silicate tiles or similar. Chemically reacting flow can also cause corrosion of the vehicle's skin, with free-atomic oxygen featuring in very high-speed flows. Hypersonic designs are often forced into blunt configurations because of the aerodynamic heating rising with a reduced radius of curvature. |

- is the ratio of specific heat of a gas at a constant pressure to heat at a constant volume (1.4 for air).
The formula to compute Mach number in a supersonic compressible flow is derived from the رايلي Supersonic Pitot equation:
