Below the speed of sound, pressure waves race ahead of an aircraft. At and above Mach 1 the aircraft outruns its own sound, and the waves pile into a cone-shaped shock — the sonic boom. The faster it flies, the more sharply swept the Mach cone: its half-angle is arcsin(1/M). This geometry governs supersonic and hypersonic vehicle design.

The equation that rules spaceflight. Your Δv budget depends only on exhaust velocity and the ratio of full-to-empty mass — and it's brutally logarithmic.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the Nozzle & Jet multi-solver?
- Nozzle & Jet is a guided workflow that chains 3 individual PolySim solvers into one end-to-end analysis, piping each result into the next step.
- Is it free to use?
- Yes. Every step runs entirely in your browser using real numerics — no install, no account, no cloud cost. Custom or private solver packs are available as a paid service.
