    The interaction of shock waves from two supersonic aircraft, photographed for the first time by NASA using the Schlieren method in 2019. A supersonic aircraft is an aircraft capable of supersonic flight, that is, flying faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1). Supersonic aircraft were developed in the second half of the twentieth century.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_transport

    Supersonic aircraft must have considerably more power than subsonic aircraft require to overcome this wave drag, and although cruising performance above transonic speed is more efficient, it is still less efficient than flying subsonically. Another issue in supersonic flight is the lift to drag ratio (L/D ratio) of the wings. At supersonic ...

    XS-1 flight number 50 is the first one where the X-1 recorded supersonic flight, with a maximum speed of Mach 1.06 (361 m/s, 1,299 km/h, 807.2 mph). As a result of the X-1's initial supersonic flight, the National Aeronautics Association voted its 1947 Collier Trophy to be shared by the three main participants in the program.
