@pilotbom: ✈️ What is Mach Tuck? Mach tuck is a nose-down pitching tendency that can occur as an aircraft approaches high Mach numbers. As shock waves form over the wing, the center of pressure moves rearward, creating a nose-down pitching moment. At the same time, disturbed airflow can reduce elevator effectiveness. Modern aircraft use systems and aerodynamic design features to help prevent or compensate for Mach tuck. ✈️ Save this post for your ATPL studies and share it with a fellow pilot!#aviation #pilot #aviationfyp #aviationgeek #airbus
