The sound barrier - email forwarded by jkksw

!


An airplane flies producing a huge sound as it flies. The sound mercifully flies faster and leaves the plane.

What happens at the speed of sound? That sound cannot leave the plane site as both travel at the same speed!
In a few seconds a crescendo of sound! And Bam!

So a plane has to rapidly accelerate beyond and dart through quick past that critical speed, before sound builds up to break up levels!

P.S. we may have actually done this if we have cracked a whip. Arthur Clarke says that the crack sound is due to the same effect.

Actual photos of the sound barrier 










This phenomenon only happens at the instant an
Aircraft breaks the sound barrier



 


 


And it literally appears like the aircraft goes through a wall. 
 




I hope you find these pictures as fascinating as I did. 

WOW!!!
