The local Mach number at a point on the airfoil reaches 1 for critical Mach number.
The local Mach number at a point on the airfoil reaches 1 for critical Mach number. Correct Answer True
For a freestream Mach number, the local Mach number at the airfoil varies based on the pressure distribution. At the upper surface, there is a point with minimum pressure where the local Mach number is maximum. Thus for critical Mach number, this local Mach number at the upper surface of the airfoil is unity.
