Podcast #157 + Halo Jump Breaks Aerodynamics
from Premier Aerodynamics Podcast · host Premier Aerodynamics
Halo jumps are jumps from really high up, like 40 kilometers high. From that height, conventional aerodynamics breakdown. Shock waves form and drag coefficients aren't what you'd expect them to be.
