What is australian context?
Show answer
The Royal Australian Air Force PC-21 trainer aircraft and the F/A-18F Super Hornet use modern aerofoils with leading-edge devices and trailing-edge flaps to vary CLC_L across the flight envelope. Civil airliners (Boeing 737, Airbus A320) use supercritical aerofoils that delay shock formation at high subsonic Mach numbers, raising the practical cruise speed.
