1. For a single compression or expansion wave, non-uniform conditions prevail upstream and downstream of the wave.
2. For expansion flow, V > V, then Vzn > Vinso Pz = p1.
3. A Prandtl-Meyer function, v, represents the angle through which a stream, initially at M = 0, must be expanded to reach a supersonic Mach number.
4. For an under-expanded nozzle, the exit velocity is affected by backpressure.
5. For an over-expanded nozzle, the exit velocity is affected by backpressure.
6. The expansion along the plug nozzle is controlled by the backpressure nozzle wall.
7. For an attached or detached shockwave, the low pressure after the shockwave produces excessive drag forces on the airfoil.
