Default Speed of sound vs. elevation

Go to the following NASA url. On it you will find a "move the airplane" graphic. Set the output dropdown to "Speed of sound". Move the airplane up the scale. When the airplane gets close to the top of the scale, you will see the speed of sound climbing back up because the temp is climbing back up.
