They cannot micturate down my neck and say it is raining.
If there is no noise, by definition, there is no sound barrier broken.
Who or what was traveling at the speed of sound that was able to take the photograph.
I say again, they cannot micturate down my neck and say it is raining..
“Who or what was traveling at the speed of sound that was able to take the photograph.”
OP article. Paragraph eleven.
“If there is no noise, by definition, there is no sound barrier broken.”
By definition it has no reference to noise. It references the region of increased drag.
“This image makes the invisible visible—the first American-made civil supersonic jet breaking the sound barrier,” said Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, in a statement released this week.
What would the imagery have looked like if there was a sonic boom when it broke the sound barrier?
There guys need to do more than just saying, "trust me, the emperor really does have clothes."
The waveform presented looks just like every other point of breaking the sound barrier with a sonic boom. Tell me what I am missing? Was it flying at 15 miles?
For an aircraft flying at a supersonic speed of about Mach 1.2 or less at an altitude above 35,000 feet, the shockwaves being produced typically do not reach the ground, so no sonic boom is heard.Why didn't they just say that instead all of this stupid hype?
“Why didn’t they just say that instead all of this stupid hype?”
They did ...
Article: This allowed them to better gauge the occurrence of what is known as Mach cutoff, a phenomenon that occurs when a sonic boom refracts in the atmosphere, preventing it from reaching the ground.
This allowed them to better gauge the occurrence of what is known as Mach cutoff, a phenomenon that occurs when a sonic boom refracts in the atmosphere, preventing it from reaching the ground.means, "for an aircraft flying at a supersonic speed of about Mach 1.2 or less at an altitude above 35,000 feet, the shockwaves being produced typically do not reach the ground, so no sonic boom is heard."
If that is a known fact, why did they have to better gauge the occurrence of what is known as Mach cutoff... It is a simple fact that the higher the altitude (distance) the greater the attenuation of the sound wave.
The aircraft sounds like this as it breaks the sound barrier: shhhhshush
This, this, this!
Its gonna be in high stratosphere so there aint nobody on the surface gonna hear it, so.......WHY?
So it still creates a sonic boom.
