Transonic being past the speed of sound and subsonic is below the speed of sound.
Subsonic speed refers to speeds below the speed of sound in a medium. In water, the speed of sound is higher than in air, so typical speeds of objects moving through water are considered subsonic.
speeds lower than the speed of sound is known as the subsonic speed. speeds greater than the speed of sound is supersonic (mach 1) and speeds that are many times above the speed of sound (above mach 0) are known as hypersonic sounds.
The most common descriptors used for wind speed are calm, light, moderate, strong, and severe. These terms are typically associated with specific ranges of wind speeds, such as calm for speeds below 1 knot, light for speeds between 1-10 knots, moderate for speeds between 11-20 knots, strong for speeds between 21-31 knots, and severe for speeds above 32 knots.
The main difference in wind strength between a category 2 and category 5 hurricane is the maximum sustained wind speed. A category 2 hurricane has wind speeds of 96-110 mph, while a category 5 hurricane has wind speeds of 157 mph or higher, making it much more intense and potentially destructive.
An example of retrograde motion is when Mars appears to temporarily move backward in its orbit as seen from Earth. This is an optical illusion caused by the difference in speeds between Earth and Mars as they revolve around the Sun.
The main difference is the speed of the object in relation to the speed of sound. Subsonic refers to speeds slower than the speed of sound, while supersonic refers to speeds faster than the speed of sound. In the case of supersonic speeds, objects are traveling faster than the speed at which sound waves propagate in the medium.

Subsonic speed refers to speeds below the speed of sound in a medium. In water, the speed of sound is higher than in air, so typical speeds of objects moving through water are considered subsonic.
Transonic speed occurs when an object is traveling at a speed that is close to the speed of sound, typically between 0.8 and 1.2 times the speed of sound. At transonic speeds, airflow around the object can become turbulent, leading to changes in aerodynamic forces and potential control issues.
it speeds up and speeds down
The correct term for this is subsonic, not infrasonic. And yeah, I wouldn't want to go above the speed of sound in a hang glider! So, yes, they fly subsonic.
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.

Scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) and ramjet engines are both types of air-breathing engines, but they operate at different speeds. Ramjets function efficiently at subsonic to low supersonic speeds, using the forward motion of the vehicle to compress incoming air before combustion. In contrast, scramjets are designed for supersonic speeds, allowing combustion to occur while the airflow remains supersonic, which enables them to operate at much higher speeds, typically above Mach 5. This fundamental difference in airflow and combustion speed makes scramjets suitable for hypersonic flight applications.
The word you are looking for is "subsonic." This term describes speeds that are slower than the speed of sound.
