I love the Supersonic. It's so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

^Either way, it should have been "Higher (or highest) scores are what you'll see." I'm guessing that's what residue meant.


Yes, that's what I meant. I had the volume pretty low last night

>> ^residue:
"highest scores is what you'll see"
nice grammar


he said HIGHER scores. nice ears.

As Payback already pointed out, it's definitely not supersonic.
Also, one of the characteristics of a sonic boom is the loud CRACK that you get as it passes by. This is loud enough to deafen people and shatter windows for at least 100 meters around.


Um.. the sonic boom I thought was at the moment you exceed speed of sound when you stack up the soundwaves.

Do you think all planes flying at supersonic CONSTANTLY emit a sonic boom everywhere they fly? Wouldn't that make fighter plane detection pretty easy?

Also, one of the characteristics of a sonic boom is the loud CRACK that you get as it passes by. This is loud enough to deafen people and shatter windows for at least 100 meters around. (Probably further.) So if that had really been a supersonic flight, the lense to that camera would be cracked and the operator would be deaf.

It's still darn awesome though.

There's no chance that I can see that it was super sonic. As Arg mentioned above you can hear the plane coming before it gets there. If it isn't traveling as fast or faster than its own sound then it's not supersonic, that's what supersonic means.

^Good possibility this plane is supersonic, it's just too close to the ground for the pressure waves between the nose and tail to form.

I stand corrected. It is much louder when traveling at the Mach 1 boundary then when past it. Also jets are allowed to travel over populated areas supersonic as long as they are at 30,000 feet or above.


Bizzarely, flying HIGHER makes it WORSE, even at 70,000ft. Flying lower than 60,000 is extremely inefficient for supersonics, but flying lower actually makes the boom lessened, when you read into the article.

>> ^Payback:
Phelixian, you are incorrect. The sonic boom is due to a pressure wave passing you from object moving at supersonic speeds. It's continuous, not unlike the bow wave of a boat.

Otherwise, supersonic planes like the old Concorde would have been allowed over populated areas.

You guys have no idea what you're talking about.

JJ Fad clearly stated what the term Supersonic means:

"You see, the 'S' is for super, and the 'U' is for unique
The 'P' is for perfection and you know that we are freaks
The 'E' is for exotic, and the 'R' is for raps
So tell those nosy people just to stay the hell back "

Impressive, but I don't think it's supersonic. You can clearly hear it approaching.
