The problem with supersonic aircrafts today is that when they surpass the speed of sound they create a so-called sonic boom, an acoustic phenomenon similar to the one generated by a relatively large detonation. It is just a sound, but it packs a mighty punch. Just imagine hearing a sudden explosion in the middle of t... |
