The People’s Republic of China aviation firm Comac has been enjoying some good news lately, including the ability to announce ...

a unit of pressure that measures the strength of the shock wave from a sonic boom. An instrument set up on the roof of the Margaritaville Beach Resort on South Padre Island, a popular tourist ...

NASA partnered with Boom Supersonic to capture the invisible; the supersonic shockwave of Boom’s XB-1 aircraft breaking ... A) because they can, and B) because they’re researching how the sonic boom ...

So the waves pile up against each other as they are created. These "piled up" waves are called shock waves. The greatest shock waves are at the tip and tail of the plane. This NASA photograph ...

The sharp release of pressure, after the buildup by the shock wave, is heard as the sonic boom," NASA explains. "The change in air pressure associated with a sonic boom is only a few pounds per ...

NASA and Boom Supersonic just released an incredible photo capturing a shockwave emanating from the ... plans to make a supersonic airplane with a sonic boom that won't disturb people on the ...

Sonic booms are sound shock waves produced when an object exceeds the speed of sound. These booms can be extremely loud and disruptive to populations on the ground. The supersonic XB-1 aircraft from ...

They also confirmed no sonic boom reached the ground during XB-1 ... It documents the changing air density around XB-1 and the resulting shock wave—making the invisible visible." ...

NASA also obtained acoustic data from the aircraft which demonstrated the ‘boomless cruise’ principle, whereby the sonic boom, under certain speed and atmospheric conditions, can refract away ...
