  1. Topic idea: Anyone remember the 727 that went way supersonic in a steep dive over the Great Lakes (believe in 1970's)? They accidentally reached much higher cruise alt than 727 designed for and stalled just below mach 1, rolled over, pilot pulled positive Gs while inverted to keep passengers in their seats, instantly going well past mach 1 then fighting to reduce speed they trashed flaps and slats then copilot dropped the landing gear which did the trick, they leveled off around 5k alt and landed safely. Wound up scrapping the aircraft as beyond repair.

  2.  @Ficon  You must be talking about a different situation. One I'm referring to went instantly supersonic. Parasitic drag on an airliner is tiny so as soon as lift induced drag is gone in a dive starting just below mach 1 there is no other possible result.
