Thanks to their dramatic curvature, the ships really look like they should fall over, but those curves are actually one reason why they don’t.

“A bulbous bow creates a second wave that effectively cancels out the first, making the bow even more hydrodynamically efficient,” according to Popular Mechanics.

But when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound, those molecules can't get out of the way fast enough, and they begin to pile up around the front and sides of the plane, like water in a bow wave.

CFM joint venture partner GE Aerospace had previously indicated that falling aircraft retirements would drive 200 more CFM56 shop visits in 2024 than anticipated.

While the Tampa facility commonly works on A321 passenger aircraft, PEMCO Conversions is in the process of completing its first A321 freighter conversion.

Gliding through space “A wave is a more accurate depiction of what is happening ahead of our heliosphere – much like the wave made by the bow of a boat as it glides through the water,” explains ...

The sun is zipping through interstellar space more slowly than once thought, suggesting the giant shock wave long suspected of existing in front of the sun is not actually there, researchers say.

The shockwaves form as supersonic aircraft travel through the air, almost like a bow wave in front of a fast boat, Banks explains. “The air basically can’t get out of its own way,” he says.
