Abrupt and gradual stalls were made in Mach ranges of 0.21-0.63 and 0.41-0.65 respectively. Abrupt pull-ups were made through Mach range of 0.21- 0.30. Mach number greatly affected maximum lift coefficient and buffeting boundary line. Buffeting boundary was defined by maximum lift coefficient only up to M = 0.64. Above M = 0.12, calculations lost their agreement with flight data. Gradual stalls showed same effect of Mach number as abrupt stalls.
