Factual narrative
THE PLT MADE AN APCH OVER TALL TREES TO LAND ON A 2050 FT STRIP. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON WET TURF WITH ABOUT 500 FT OF RWY REMAINING. THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ACFT ON THE REMAINING RWY. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT CONTD OFF THE DEPARTURE END & WENT INTO A LARGE DITCH. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12

Buffet Alleviation via Linear Stability Adjoint
Transonic buffet, self--sustained shock and shear--layer oscillations, imposes hard limits on the cruise envelope of modern transport aircraft, and avoiding it is a primary design driver.

Transonic Buffet Modeling via Invariant Manifolds
In transonic flow over aircraft wings, shock-boundary-layer interactions can give rise to transonic buffet, which degrades maneuverability through unsteady aerodynamic loads.
