⭕ Super Sonic" can refer to two different things: a speed faster than the speed of sound, and a transformation of the video game character Sonic the Hedgehog. In physics, "super sonic" describes speeds exceeding the speed of sound.

⭕ A sonic boom is a loud, thunderous noise created when an object, like an aircraft, travels faster than the speed of sound, which is about 767 mph (1,236 km/h) at sea level. This happens because the pressure waves created by the object compress and merge, forming a shockwave that travels faster than sound. The shockwave is then perceived as a loud, impulsive sound, similar to a clap of thunder. 

⭕ When a fighter jet pilot breaks the sound barrier, they don't hear the sonic boom that is created on the ground. This is because they are traveling faster than the speed of sound, meaning the sound wave from the boom can't catch up to them. They can still hear sounds within the enclosed cockpit, but the external sound waves are not perceived. 

Historical Context: 👇

✅ The first aircraft to break the sound barrier was the Bell X-1, piloted by Major Charles E. Yeager in 1947. 

Supersonic Flight Challenges: 👇

✅ Supersonic flight can generate sonic booms, which are loud, disruptive sounds. 

Future of Supersonic Flight: 👇

✅ There is ongoing research and development into quieter supersonic aircraft to enable commercial supersonic travel. 


Modern fighter jets can achieve speeds exceeding 1,000 mph (1,600 km/h). Some, like the MiG-25, can reach Mach 3.2 (2,190 mph). Fighter jets are designed for speed, maneuverability, and firepower, with various models capable of exceeding Mach 2, the speed of sound. 

⭕ Here's a more detailed breakdown:👇

Supersonic Flight: 👇

Modern fighter jets are designed to fly at supersonic speeds (faster than the speed of sound). 

Mach Numbers: 👇

Mach number is a measure of an object's speed relative to the speed of sound in a given medium. For example, a Mach 2 speed is twice the speed of sound. 

Examples:

MiG-25 Foxbat: Can reach Mach 3.2 (2,190 mph). 

MiG-31 Foxhound: Can reach Mach 2.83 (1,864 mph). 

F-15 Eagle: Can reach Mach 2.5 (1,650 mph). 

F-22 Raptor:
