The air speeds in this region are typically lower than the flight speed of the insect.
Despite very effective during takeoff hydrofoils had negative impact on flight speed.
They are also much more fuel-efficient at normal flight speeds than rockets.
The flying reptile soon emerges, but his flight speed has been cut by half.
No longer was revolutionary progress made in flight speeds, distances and technology.
The high flight speed allows it to engage targets rapidly.
Outside a planetary atmosphere his flight speed can even reach near the speed of light.
The propulsive thrust distribution between these components changed with flight speed.
At flight speed, any random piece of debris could punch right through a ship before they even knew what hit them.
Without afterburning it is hard to reach supersonic flight speeds.
