Hypersonics Part One with Dr. Graham Wild (432)

Aviation expert Dr. Graham Wild returns to take us beyond the basics of flight and into the high-speed world of subsonic vs. hypersonic aircraft. We break down the engine mechanics behind these incredible machines, and I squeeze in a humblebrag about sitting in an SR-71 (yes, okay, it was grounded).

It's a theory-packed episode, so we've split it into two parts. Catch Part 2 next week.

Aviation expert Dr. Graham Wild
returns to take us beyond the basics of flight and into the

the engine mechanics behind these incredible machines, and I
squeeze in a humblebrag about sitting in an SR-71 (yes, okay, it
was grounded).

It’s a theory-packed episode, so
we’ve split it into two parts. Catch Part 2 next week.
