Speed of Sound (Mach number) Formula Elements

Variables
Speed of Sound
Speed of Sound in the air is considered here and is denoted by c symbol.
Symbol: c
Measurement: SpeedUnit: km/h
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
True Aircraft Speed
True Aircraft Speed of an aircraft is the speed of the aircraft relative to the air mass through which it is flying.
Symbol: VTAS
Measurement: SpeedUnit: km/h
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
True Mach Number
True Mach Number of the aircraft. Mach number is a function of temperature and true airspeed. Aircraft flight instruments operate using pressure differential to compute Mach number, not temperature.
Symbol: MTrue
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
