So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain circumstances. They only exist below a precisely defined cut-off frequency ...

These disturbances move at the speed of sound. In supersonic flight these disturbances combine to form shock waves around the vehicle. When people say you can see a fighter jet before you hear it ...

When the experimental XB-1 aircraft broke the sound barrier three times during its first supersonic flight on 28 January, it did not produce a sonic boom audible from the ground, according to US ...

After reaching an altitude of approximately 35,000 feet (around 10,670 ... noise caused by shock waves generated as the aircraft crosses the sound barrier. Commercial supersonic flight: A ...

The airspace in which Boom Supersonic complete its test holds historic significance—known as the Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor, the area is named after the first plane to break the sound barrier ...

The key to understanding the environmental effects of supersonic aircraft is that, whenever its speed exceeds the speed of sound, shock waves form around the aircraft. These shock waves ...
