was doing a little review and compressibility affects may be easily approximated prior to transonic speeds (from Mach = 0.3 -> 0.8). need to read up some more. also, i need to take some time to look over wave drag. if i recall correctly, drag coefficients stay pretty stable until you hit the transonic region - then they go through the roof.

don't know if i can resolve the wave drag stuff, never studied it before. but the compressibility affects would be useful, esp for fighter jet simulation.
