Abstract

In this paper, the feasibility of a supersonic torpedo is determined. This study uses the specifications of the MK-48 torpedo to calculate the force resistive to motion, and subsequently, the power
needed for the torpedo to sustain travel at the speed of sound. This power is calculated to be
275.9 GW, rendering the concept unfeasible.
