Which outcome occurs when exceeding airspeed limits in flight?

💡 Explanation

When an aircraft's airspeed exceeds the critical Mach number, compressibility effects become significant; because the flow accelerates locally to supersonic speeds over the wing, local shockwaves form causing buffeting and increased drag; therefore shockwaves occur rather than induced drag increases which are related to lift.
