Summary edit
| Description |
English: Shock waves are visible above the wing of an A320 family airliner during a regular flight. The shock waves appear as faint vertical "creaks" or "wrinkles" in the video, and move back and forth a few centimeters along the top surface of the wing. They are in fact changes in air density over a very narrow amount of space, causing optical refraction. Shock waves are a normal occurrence above airliner wings, particularly during flights made at speeds in high transonic regime. They may not always be observable, depending on flight cruise, atmospheric and light conditions. |
