When the experimental XB-1 aircraft achieved supersonic speeds on a test flight, it did not create a disruptive sonic boom – ...

American company Boom Supersonic just broke the sound barrier with a civilian plane. What exactly is supersonic travel, and ...

Supersonic planes will burn significantly more fuel than current aircraft, resulting in higher emissions of carbon dioxide, ...

5. Supersonic planes use swept-back or delta wings to manage shock wave formation and reduce drag. 6. The Mach cone, formed due to shock waves, determines the angle of the wave based on the ...

they’re referring to supersonic flight: fighter jets can travel at around Mach 2. The sound from the fighter jet is trapped inside its shock wave; until the shock wave moves to your position on ...
