Freud would spend many years trying to "reduce" personality
supersonic, and hypersonic. The wind tunnels are classified by the amount of speed they can produce. The subsonic has a speed lower then the speed of sound. The transonic has a speed which is about equal to the speed of sound (Mach 1 760 miles per hour at sea level). . The supersonic (Mach 2.75 to 4.96) has a speed of about five times the speed of sound And the fasts of them all the hypersonic (Mach39.5) which has a speed of more then 30,000 miles per hour.
