@@diegomieresherrera5920right, pretty amazing. It’d be a better demonstration if the pilot started further away, so the crowd could get that increased delay, but then they wouldn’t be able to see the sonic booms.

So in this case the aircraft is not actually supersonic, you are not seeing the sound barrier being “broken” that is a vapor cone caused by transsonic flight where airflows over the aircraft are not uniformly supersonic or subsonic making it so water is rapidly condensed between the shockwave when the airflows meet. This is something that only happens at transonic speeds and not at supersonic speeds. He is probably going Mach .96-98 for this flyby, certainly near but not past the sound barrier.

Correct! pilots cannot hear sonic booms created by their own plane because they are at the head of the Mach cone this means they are moving so fast that the sonic boom doesn't get a chance to catch up to them but pilots can see the pressure waves around the plane.
While it's correct the pilot don't hear the sonic boom, it's definitely not quiet. The engine noise will travel through the airframe and through the static air in the cockpit. And the wind noise will be pretty extreme.

@@ws8061 Fly-bys are common on deployments. Breaking the sound barrier usually isn't recommended when in the warzone, but there were times when we were transiting the Atlantic and they would do this to uplift morale.
@@thirdgen377 I was on the USS Saratoga, in 84, coming back from a med cruise in the middle of the North Atlantic, we had an air show. They were dropping munitions. At one point, They had a tomcat fly by as slowly and as dirty as it could. And then, right as it came abeam the ship, a second Tomcat came out of nowhere, breaking the sound barrier. They were doing everything.
It’s a must do. You absolutely feel it through your entire body. It won’t blow your ear drums out or make them bleed either like all the computer experts try and say. Experience it live if you can. I recommend it to everybody.
i did. In the town i live in they do practicing of military with Jets a few times in the year. Every time people are wondering what this loud bang was, that even shakes the doors.
I’ve seen two F-4 Phantoms..they were going faster than this guy.The reason I’m saying this, is because, I saw the two phantoms side by side, they passed by, No sound at all, then I could hear what they used to call:The rolling thunder, the as soon as the rolling thunder got in front of me.. boom! My ears were ringing..they did another pass, but the second time, I covered my ears.
Back in 1984 my husband was stationed on board the USS Dwight d eisenhower. A NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER. They have what's called a dependents day cruise. The blue angels performed an air show while we were out at sea. My husband was a Fueler . Also known as the grapes because of the purple shirts they wore. We got to stand in the catwalk, that was on both sides of the ship. Literally feet away from where they did touch an go. Now that will get your heart pumping
Amazing how even at about 100ft off the water it still has ground affect. You can see the change in the wakes of the water. That's some serious power of physics. Amazing!
A wing displaces a mass of air down as a helicopter does or a propeller. This moving air mass is action, the reaction is lift. If it is too close to the ground the air is compressed and thus, the lift is increased (or ground effect).
I think I was on the flight deck watching this. I was on the Big E for just over 2 years. Amazing ship! It’s going to take over 12 years to dismantle it.
I might have been on. The ship that day to my brother in law was on that ship for years His name was larry jackson They used to do a brain, your Family Day. I went out on that ship a couple times before it was retired
We might be hearing the sound from the sonic boom travelling though the water (sound travels ~4.2 times faster underwater), but there's no way we'd hear anything of the sonic boom through the air before the main noise front reached the camera.
@@jacobhammock3355I have news for you, Gillian. The density of liquid water does indeed conduct sound faster than air, regardless of them both being ‘fluids’
I had a friend very dear to me that served on the enterprise in the old war. He had pictures of it covering one wall of his room. His pride was him and the president not just shaking hands but standing side by side like equals. I forgot why but I know he was highly decorated for what they did on that carrier .He was a resident at the nursing home I worked at and even after I moved on I stuck with him until he passed in 2017.

My instructor told me that he was in the engine room during a sonic boom show on a tiger cruise of the Enterprise. The sonic boom caused the rust in the lube oil systems to flake off and clog the strainer. Shows you how powerful those jets are.
While I would say this was plausible depending on how thick and brittle the rust buildup was, but most likely an exaggeration. If true they were grossly negligent in their PMCS duties.
Have you ever seen that one airport where they have a fence right behind where they takeoff on commercial airlines. People would hold the fence and it would throw them back, but I believe they closed it off even farther after it literally threw some chick into the air and she slammed her head on the concrete, if a commercial jet can put off that much for us then I can only imagine what full thrusters could do
She wasnt a great ship. She was held together with nuke red duct tape and little green army men. Fun fact they did these after we left the gulf to shake all the sand out of the ventilation. We would have piles of sand in the engineroom
Me too, it’s mesmerising - the discolouration around the jet as the wavefront forms, then silence as the spectators wait for the sluggish sound wave to crash over the ship.
One of those things in life I'll never forget, as a 17 year old kid on his first deployment watching that beautiful Tomcat do its thing. Still makes my shorthairs stand up all these years later.
Wish I could find the picture I took during the flyby. Just as I snapped the picture the the sonic boom hit so I got a perfect still of it. It was like pushing the camera button triggered it. The F-14 was at eye level just as it hit. Most of my pictures got destroyed in a flood back in the 70's.
One of my best memories as a 14 year old child (1994) was joining a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii back home on the Nimitz with my enlisted brother. The open sea flight demonstrations were unbelievable. I have some insane pictures of planes flanking over the flight deck just 2-3 FEET max over people's heads. My brother told me later that one of the pilots was grounded because he came too close to the gathered crowd. They dropped bombs on targets and simulated open ocean rescues with helicopters. I loved that Tiger Cruise experience.
Seeing the cone and then the flares on the way up was really a badass flyby.... We we're on USS WASP LHD1 in 93 so our flyby consisted of harriers and choppers... Nevertheless fly by usually indicates the end of your tour/float
What's crazy is, I saw this in person as a kid, in the 80s, from the same deck. I don't know if they're still called the same thing, but back then, it was called a tiger cruise. They'd take the families of the sailors out and do a few operations out on the water, do a hard bank turn, drop some bombs from choppers and planes and scuttle a barge or old vessel, a few fly by's, they'd serve food in the hangar and there was always a giant cake the shape of the ship. I remember doing them on the Enterprise, the Eisenhower several times, and the Roosevelt. Cool that they're still doing these. It was fun having the old man walk us around the ship and show us his bunk with our pictures in it, where he worked, where he bathed, ate and lived for 6 months at a time, the massive anchor chain and it's room. Getting to see a plane break the sound barrier a few hundred feet away from your face is insane and always the most prominent memory from those trips. I guess it wasn't much of a consolation prize for having him gone half the year every year, for garbage pay, for the entire 18 years of my childhood, risking his life only to eventually be abandoned by the VA and commit suicide, but a whole cake shaped like a ship?!!!! 🙃😂 Seriously though, I hope they take better care of Navy families today than they did 40 years ago.
Thank you for sharing your father with all of us in the world who benefitted from his service. The Us Navy works every day to secure the seas and maintain stability for international commerce. Im sorry for your loss and that we let him.down in the emd..a.life in the service should at least buy you lifelong quality health care . People are so quick to wave the flag and rattle the sword....but seem to lose interest in being responsible for the consequences of warfare on the human spirit. Be well.
Yeah, too bad the VA can't actually help vets. CHUMPUS is what my dad called it. "They" didn't want to pay for my mom's hospital bed (we had her at home for 2 years after a debilitating stroke) so we had to put her in my childhood bed, a twin, up on blocks. It's too late, but I say welcome home to your dad, anyway. One way or another, they come home, and one way or another, they don't feel like they're wanted "home." We need to do better for the men and women who fight for us, whatever the politics. A bullet doesn't care what it does, but we should. I can't believe there's such a thing as a homeless veteran in the United States. Thr best physical and mental health care should be fundamental in veteran's benefits. Our tax dollars assure the president and Congress, and SCOTUS get the best care. Why don't we think vets should too?
My cousin was Navy, my daughter is now & gets to witness this close by. I was Army, my son is now too & its something most Army only hear from way below with boots on ground but DAAAMN it was beautiful to hear air support popping as they disappear leaving a mountain as a hill for a slower pass over as we give the "good rounds, good rounds, we have it ftom here".
Back in the early seventies in Colorado Springs we had many Sonic booms because there was so much action going on at the close of the Vietnam War era.

When I was on the USS Carl Vinson. They blew the door off my shop with a sonic boom. They always put on a small airshow for the crew on way home!! I was an AO so i loved the wall of water!!
The “wall of water” is not related to breaking the sound barrier. It IS related to the higher humidity and the pressure differential around the airframe, causing momentary condensation events with the fluctuating pressure differentials. In other words, it hits the dewpoint sporadically.
Since we see the effect on the ocean surface almost in sync with its passage, and hear it when it is abreast of us, it is clear that it is just over the local speed of sound, pushing a nearly planar packet of shock wave(s) along. At higher Mach numbers, it would be some way past us, and any affected water surface, when any of the sound/shock it generated reached the ‘auditors’. Sonic booms are not formed just at the instant of the aircraft accelerating past (‘breaking’) the speed of sound, but the sonic cone exists, trailing the aircraft at its tip, the whole time it is supersonic. Here, it is a very blunt cone, but becomes, um, ‘POINTIER !!’ as it goes more supersonic. You hear the boom only when the cone expands past your location, with the aircraft past (by more or by less) its nearest approach.
You are close enough but NO that does NOT mean it broke the sound barrier. They do these cones at air shows all the time. Every air show in Chicago that I’ve seen has had at least one jet do that on purpose. It typically happens at transonic speeds. Which is why they can demonstrate it at an air show in a densely populated city. If it took going super sonic to create one of those cones then they wouldn’t do it at air shows.
We had one of our squadrons F-14B do a flyby and he broke the sound barrier just as he passed the ship. The flight deck was packed for it. Coolest thing was I was the PC for that Tomcat & crew that day. VF-103 Sluggers 1991. They're now VFA-103 Jolly Rogers flying super hornets
VF-103 my first squadron back in 1978 at Oceana. We had the F-4J back then and attached to the USS Saratoga, homeported in Mayport, FL. My last cruise was on the Enterprise. We were in the Gulf when 9/11 happened. That was a good Navy back then!
@michaeldaigle2773 dude what? 😂 no, he's saying the flight movement isn't through traditional mechanical means, but more from a source of energy we dont understand, far outside the realm of our understanding of "mechanics" try not to be so dense next time. Smh
Bravo Zulu to those who served on the Big E. I did two deployments in the 90's and remember a Family Day Cruise where my family got to experience these airshows up close.
Oh. My. Gawddd. He did a stairway to heaven at the end. 100 yrs ago, cars, planes, etc were almost unheard of…this is a jaw dropping example of the amazing ingenuity of the human race… Just think abt every advancement within the last 80 years…this is up there on top of the list (with other stuff, too, but this is incredible…) 😮
You dont. Thats vapor in the air turning from a gas (vapor) to a liquid (water droplets) as the wing creates a large pressure differential. It happens more on humid days.
@tpespos No, subsonic is below the speed of sound. Sonic is equal to the speed of sound, and supersonic is faster than the speed of sound. I can tell because I saw it.
@StrokeMyLovePump sources: "trust me bro" aight trust the random kid saying he can tell subsonic, sonic, and supersonic based off speed and pixels in a video. Your going to have to go more into depth than what you replied to have anyone believe what your preaching timmy.
@@cassiusnoyb6499 Kind of how it does work, at least with the F18, vapor cones typically happen at transonic speeds right around mach 1. That cloud is literally supersonic air returning to subsonic speeds.
Back in the 60s and early 70s, we had sonic booms from the base by us daily. The kids all loved it, but my mother did NOT like our windows rattle/crack and a dish would fall and break. I think that’s when I learned curse words😂

At one point, They had a tomcat fly by as slowly and as dirty as it could. And then, right as it came abeam the ship, a second Tomcat came out of nowhere, breaking the sound barrier. They were doing everything.
My dream is to see and hear this live. Many times I have seen planes going fast, but never crossing sound barrier.... Thumb up
It’s a must do. You absolutely feel it through your entire body. It won’t blow your ear drums out or make them bleed either like all the computer experts try and say. Experience it live if you can. I recommend it to everybody.
i did. In the town i live in they do practicing of military with Jets a few times in the year. Every time people are wondering what this loud bang was, that even shakes the doors.
One of the experiences I ever had 10/10 would recommend
I’ve seen two F-4 Phantoms..they were going faster than this guy.The reason I’m saying this, is because, I saw the two phantoms side by side, they passed by, No sound at all, then I could hear what they used to call:The rolling thunder, the as soon as the rolling thunder got in front of me.. boom! My ears were ringing..they did another pass, but the second time, I covered my ears.
You will feel this nore than hear :D trust me.
Back in 1984 my husband was stationed on board the USS Dwight d eisenhower. A NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER. They have what's called a dependents day cruise. The blue angels performed an air show while we were out at sea. My husband was a Fueler . Also known as the grapes because of the purple shirts they wore. We got to stand in the catwalk, that was on both sides of the ship. Literally feet away from where they did touch an go. Now that will get your heart pumping
Amazing how even at about 100ft off the water it still has ground affect. You can see the change in the wakes of the water. That's some serious power of physics. Amazing!
it is the shock wave hitting the water
I didn’t even see that until I read your comment. That’s so cool
@@vascoribeiro69That's kinda how the ground effect works.
Ground effect vehicles also produce a wake like this.
@@justicegutierrez6847 not the same thing
A wing displaces a mass of air down as a helicopter does or a propeller. This moving air mass is action, the reaction is lift. If it is too close to the ground the air is compressed and thus, the lift is increased (or ground effect).
I think I was on the flight deck watching this. I was on the Big E for just over 2 years. Amazing ship!
It’s going to take over 12 years to dismantle it.
Yuuup, navy's problem, HII has the contract, but doesnt give a shit
I might have been on. The ship that day to my brother in law was on that ship for years His name was larry jackson They used to do a brain, your Family Day. I went out on that ship a couple times before it was retired
My dad served on the USS Enterprise as a firefighter and was on a PBR crew for awhile in Vietnam.
Why would it take 12 years to dismantle it
@@metsfan421 its really big, and super contaminated
The pressure/concussion/whatever of it going supersonic reached the camera before the noise did… that’s really fkn cool.
That’s literally the meaning of going supersonic the jet is going faster than the speed of sound
We might be hearing the sound from the sonic boom travelling though the water (sound travels ~4.2 times faster underwater), but there's no way we'd hear anything of the sonic boom through the air before the main noise front reached the camera.

I had a friend very dear to me that served on the enterprise in the old war. He had pictures of it covering one wall of his room. His pride was him and the president not just shaking hands but standing side by side like equals. I forgot why but I know he was highly decorated for what they did on that carrier .He was a resident at the nursing home I worked at and even after I moved on I stuck with him until he passed in 2017.

My instructor told me that he was in the engine room during a sonic boom show on a tiger cruise of the Enterprise. The sonic boom caused the rust in the lube oil systems to flake off and clog the strainer. Shows you how powerful those jets are.
While I would say this was plausible depending on how thick and brittle the rust buildup was, but most likely an exaggeration. If true they were grossly negligent in their PMCS duties.
Have you ever seen that one airport where they have a fence right behind where they takeoff on commercial airlines. People would hold the fence and it would throw them back, but I believe they closed it off even farther after it literally threw some chick into the air and she slammed her head on the concrete, if a commercial jet can put off that much for us then I can only imagine what full thrusters could do

Pity that USS ENTERPRISE, CVN-65, has been scrapped. She was a great ship.
Can't wait for the new one.Launch date November 2025.
She hasn’t been scrapped yet
She wasnt a great ship. She was held together with nuke red duct tape and little green army men. Fun fact they did these after we left the gulf to shake all the sand out of the ventilation. We would have piles of sand in the engineroom
Stupid to scrap this ship in these times of dire need
Fastest Nimitz class Carrier we ever made.
Why do I find this just absolutely beautiful?
Cracking the sound barrier! Went from library mode to BOOM!
So badass!!! Never was a pilot. Never worked on planes, but man these military aircraft are so awesome to look at
You helped pay for it so enjoy.
Sounds like a kid.
Who would expect you to?
Or someone who used the internet/YT comment section for the first time in her life lel.
I just kept watching this over and over
I watched this like 10 times. So awesome. Looks like he warps in from hyperspace outta no where.
Me too, it’s mesmerising - the discolouration around the jet as the wavefront forms, then silence as the spectators wait for the sluggish sound wave to crash over the ship.
The New Warthunder update is crazy
I just love it when the sound comes after it passed by
Like a lighting bolt hitting the ground before the thunder
Same here love it
Have you ever seen a lighting bolt hit with no thunder or explosion?
F35 Lightning can do this, so you're not wrong.
The amount of times I've seen this on repeat is unhealthy 😂
Underrated!!!👍😂😂
Couldn't even count😂
It’s crazy what it does to the surface of the water - everything about this is awesome!
One of those things in life I'll never forget, as a 17 year old kid on his first deployment watching that beautiful Tomcat do its thing. Still makes my shorthairs stand up all these years later.
Given the crew a view!! Could watch this over and over. It is bad ass!!
Wish I could find the picture I took during the flyby. Just as I snapped the picture the the sonic boom hit so I got a perfect still of it. It was like pushing the camera button triggered it. The F-14 was at eye level just as it hit. Most of my pictures got destroyed in a flood back in the 70's.
That would've been a sick picture
@@lwdrdI agree, would be amazing to see
That is a true loss; & a great memory!!
BTW this is the BEST Vid. I've EVER SEEN!! Wish I was there!! 🙏🇺🇸
One of my best memories as a 14 year old child (1994) was joining a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii back home on the Nimitz with my enlisted brother. The open sea flight demonstrations were unbelievable. I have some insane pictures of planes flanking over the flight deck just 2-3 FEET max over people's heads. My brother told me later that one of the pilots was grounded because he came too close to the gathered crowd. They dropped bombs on targets and simulated open ocean rescues with helicopters. I loved that Tiger Cruise experience.
🧢
Tiger cruise was definitely an awesome experience. Mine was on the USS FORESTAL aka the forest fire
Dude that sounds like an awesome memory to keep 🔐 ❤ 🌹
Awesomeness
Faster than the speed of sound is simply amazing to think we did it so long ago in 1947 thats simply amazing.
Yep. That was always a cool treat to see.
Seeing the cone and then the flares on the way up was really a badass flyby.... We we're on USS WASP LHD1 in 93 so our flyby consisted of harriers and choppers... Nevertheless fly by usually indicates the end of your tour/float
I bet the pilots loved doing stuff like this! Thank you for your service.
Lucky bastards lol
Getting to fly that plane is it's own reward. I'm sure they're like "No need to thank me, I LOVE doing this!"
Sounded like the guys on board liked it too. 😄
Finally a “breaking the sound barrier” video where they actually break the sound barrier
What's crazy is, I saw this in person as a kid, in the 80s, from the same deck. I don't know if they're still called the same thing, but back then, it was called a tiger cruise. They'd take the families of the sailors out and do a few operations out on the water, do a hard bank turn, drop some bombs from choppers and planes and scuttle a barge or old vessel, a few fly by's, they'd serve food in the hangar and there was always a giant cake the shape of the ship. I remember doing them on the Enterprise, the Eisenhower several times, and the Roosevelt. Cool that they're still doing these. It was fun having the old man walk us around the ship and show us his bunk with our pictures in it, where he worked, where he bathed, ate and lived for 6 months at a time, the massive anchor chain and it's room. Getting to see a plane break the sound barrier a few hundred feet away from your face is insane and always the most prominent memory from those trips. I guess it wasn't much of a consolation prize for having him gone half the year every year, for garbage pay, for the entire 18 years of my childhood, risking his life only to eventually be abandoned by the VA and commit suicide, but a whole cake shaped like a ship?!!!! 🙃😂 Seriously though, I hope they take better care of Navy families today than they did 40 years ago.

Yeah, too bad the VA can't actually help vets. CHUMPUS is what my dad called it.
"They" didn't want to pay for my mom's hospital bed (we had her at home for 2 years after a debilitating stroke) so we had to put her in my childhood bed, a twin, up on blocks.
It's too late, but I say welcome home to your dad, anyway. One way or another, they come home, and one way or another, they don't feel like they're wanted "home." We need to do better for the men and women who fight for us, whatever the politics. A bullet doesn't care what it does, but we should. I can't believe there's such a thing as a homeless veteran in the United States. Thr best physical and mental health care should be fundamental in veteran's benefits. Our tax dollars assure the president and Congress, and SCOTUS get the best care. Why don't we think vets should too?
Goes to show by the comments that we( us vet's and family care more than the VA.
Used to love seeing stuff like this in the Navy.
my comment exactly
Nah fahreal though
My cousin was Navy, my daughter is now & gets to witness this close by. I was Army, my son is now too & its something most Army only hear from way below with boots on ground but DAAAMN it was beautiful to hear air support popping as they disappear leaving a mountain as a hill for a slower pass over as we give the "good rounds, good rounds, we have it ftom here".
It’s kinda crazy to think if that plane were to hit you in the back you’d have absolutely no clue. You’d die before you heard it.
In the woods you don’t get the chance to see it coming and you’re so right.
Back in the early seventies in Colorado Springs we had many Sonic booms because there was so much action going on at the close of the Vietnam War era. Living 20 mi from Fort Carson, riding our dirt bikes and horses going out for days coming back tired and hungry as kids. Not a great deal of supervision for some of us kids in the neighborhood . Wouldn't trade it .
I remember the Sonic Booms in East Texas during the 70's. Pretty cool.
Breaking the sound barrier sounds gorgeous 😊
And looks really cool
No editing, no graphics just universal technology and invested minds 😂❤
Now that's how fast a sound travelling in the air by observing the Jet as a reference point of view, only the jet is slightly faster than the sound.
Unfortunately, supersonic flight in Jets is illegal over US land unless Gove the authorization to do so, mainly because of how loud it is.
@@AtmosphericSpace868it's not because of the sound. It can break glass
@@djstatyk1540 Cause by the shock wave made by the sonic boom. Which is sound.
The way that jet pops out like it just jumped out from warp. Sooooo cool.
The speed it pulls up and climbs at is astounding! God Bless America!

@@CHlEFFINonly country with capable jets and pilots lol…. Which is probably why nearly every other nato country sends their pilots to the US to get training and asks for US equipment during wartime….

@@CHlEFFIN I've stated nothing of the sort. If you'll notice, the jet and aircraft shown, are from the United States. Stop making such ignorant replies.
It was so fast it was silent until it past. This is awesome. Flying faster than the sound ur aircraft makes. So amazing
The water being displaced by the jet is the best part
good shout.
I agree that's a lotta air and water being moved simultaneously!
nah the best part is the silence before the shockwave hits you
I didn’t not think it was actually displaced, but it was getting ready in case it had to get the hell out of the way! 😂😂😂
That's a hell of a lot of energy.
If you've ever been around a jet hitting sonic boom its a sound and feeling you will never ever forget!!!
I remember back around 1969 walking around downtown and hearing them when I was 8 and it scared me and they were like "That's Jets doing sonic booms."
I grew up in North Las Vegas and I'd get them over my house as a kid from Nellis. Once hit so low it knocked everything off the shelves in our garage and a few pictures off of the walls.
That flair drop was the best signature ive ever seen after a true sonic boom pass🎉
*flare
It's literally one of the most badass things I've witnessed....and lucky enough to see it multiple times.
Went for a Tiger Cruise on an LHA in the late 90’s. Saw exactly what this video shows (no flares, though ) and watched/listened to a Phalanx CWIS being fired. OMG!!!
I’ve seen many on a carrier. It always is amazing and never gets old.
Nimitz 83-86
CVN-65 1996
This is an excellent demonstration of just how slow the speed of sound actually is.
Thank you I knew this looks fairly slowish right!
Finally, an ACTUAL example of a sonic boom. I like all those videos that show a plane going Mach .98
When I was on the USS Carl Vinson. They blew the door off my shop with a sonic boom. They always put on a small airshow for the crew on way home!! I was an AO so i loved the wall of water!!
The “wall of water” is not related to breaking the sound barrier. It IS related to the higher humidity and the pressure differential around the airframe, causing momentary condensation events with the fluctuating pressure differentials. In other words, it hits the dewpoint sporadically.
That is just so crazy that you see it first before you hear the sound of it. You're literally flying ahead of your own sound
Its cool how you can see the air wave pushing the water.
It's not an air wave. It's called a vapor cone and it happens bc of the moisture in the air.
@jacobdaniel8239 I get that , but I was looking at the water in the ocean being pushed
@@mikewasko4964 "Ground effect"
Incredible and a rare shot!
Since we see the effect on the ocean surface almost in sync with its passage, and hear it when it is abreast of us, it is clear that it is just over the local speed of sound, pushing a nearly planar packet of shock wave(s) along.
At higher Mach numbers, it would be some way past us, and any affected water surface, when any of the sound/shock it generated reached the ‘auditors’.
Sonic booms are not formed just at the instant of the aircraft accelerating past (‘breaking’) the speed of sound, but the sonic cone exists, trailing the aircraft at its tip, the whole time it is supersonic. Here, it is a very blunt cone, but becomes, um, ‘POINTIER !!’ as it goes more supersonic. You hear the boom only when the cone expands past your location, with the aircraft past (by more or by less) its nearest approach.
It never ceases to amaze me how it’s dead silent until the jet passes and then the noise hits you like a freight train. Lol
The fact that you can SEE the SOUND barrier being broken is crazy.
You can't. It's just a vapour cone.
@@Canonier93 A vapor cone that occurs when…
@@TheBlueKangol a plane is subsonic..
You are close enough but NO that does NOT mean it broke the sound barrier. They do these cones at air shows all the time. Every air show in Chicago that I’ve seen has had at least one jet do that on purpose.
It typically happens at transonic speeds. Which is why they can demonstrate it at an air show in a densely populated city.
If it took going super sonic to create one of those cones then they wouldn’t do it at air shows.
@TheBlueKangol dude go back to the school pls.
We had one of our squadrons F-14B do a flyby and he broke the sound barrier just as he passed the ship. The flight deck was packed for it. Coolest thing was I was the PC for that Tomcat & crew that day. VF-103 Sluggers 1991. They're now VFA-103 Jolly Rogers flying super hornets
This video is from 2011. Pretty cool. This ship is retired now. Turning it into radioactive razor blades for Gillette.
VF-103 my first squadron back in 1978 at Oceana. We had the F-4J back then and attached to the USS Saratoga, homeported in Mayport, FL. My last cruise was on the Enterprise. We were in the Gulf when 9/11 happened. That was a good Navy back then!
People often speak of seeing ufos and how fast they depart, but they never speak of hearing the sonic boom of breaking the sound barrier.
Because they move through space through vibrations. Different concept of moving from one place to another that we dont understand.
Yeah, they dont work with mechanical means.
@@georgesdrones144 it makes sense when you look at all the information we have 😂
So aliens don't have mechanics is what your saying? Yeah...okay. Smh. This guy

Just think abt every advancement within the last 80 years…this is up there on top of the list (with other stuff, too, but this is incredible…) 😮
That's crazy! I didn't know you would actually SEE it when a plane reached the point of sonic boom!!
You dont. Thats vapor in the air turning from a gas (vapor) to a liquid (water droplets) as the wing creates a large pressure differential. It happens more on humid days.

For those who remember the F-14, a similar flyby happened some years ago in which it's engine blew up.
He went supersonic before reaching the ship, but slowed down to sonic before passing by.
So you mean subsonic? Also how can you tell?
@tpespos No, subsonic is below the speed of sound. Sonic is equal to the speed of sound, and supersonic is faster than the speed of sound. I can tell because I saw it.
@StrokeMyLovePump sources: "trust me bro" aight trust the random kid saying he can tell subsonic, sonic, and supersonic based off speed and pixels in a video. Your going to have to go more into depth than what you replied to have anyone believe what your preaching timmy.

@@cassiusnoyb6499 Kind of how it does work, at least with the F18, vapor cones typically happen at transonic speeds right around mach 1. That cloud is literally supersonic air returning to subsonic speeds.

Back in the 60s and early 70s, we had sonic booms from the base by us daily. The kids all loved it, but my mother did NOT like our windows rattle/crack and a dish would fall and break.
