The term "hypersonic effect" typically refers to the phenomena associated with objects traveling at hypersonic speeds, which are defined as speeds greater than Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound in air). When an object moves at hypersonic speeds, it experiences a range of physical effects due to the extreme velocities involved, including: 1. **Shock Waves**: At hypersonic speeds, the flow of air around the object generates powerful shock waves.
