Old picture.... but good one!


At sea level a plane had to exceed 741 mph to break the sound barrier. The change in pressure as the plane outruns all of the pressure and sound waves in front of it is heard on the ground as an explosion - the sonic boom. The pressure change condenses the water in the air as the jet passes these waves. Altitude, wind, speed, humidity, the shape and trajectory of the plane all affect the breaking of the barrier. On July 7 everything was perfect. "You see vapor flicker around the plane. It gets bigger and bigger, then BOOM - it's instantaneous. One second the vapor cloud is there, the next it's gone."

my math teacher had that posted on the wall about a year ago, when we were learning about computing sonic boom waves and such. it was pretty awesome.
