Which outcome arises during high-speed flight surpassing design constraints?

💡 Explanation

Transonic flow instability appears because exceeding designed flight speed triggers *compressible flow effects*, invalidating incompressible Bernoulli assumptions; therefore shockwaves form, rather than drag reduction, because energy dissipates into turbulent eddies instead.
