  2. Sonic boom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom

    The energy range of sonic boom is concentrated in the 0.1–100 hertz frequency range that is considerably below that of subsonic aircraft, gunfire and most industrial noise. Duration of sonic boom is brief; less than a second, 100 milliseconds (0.1 second) for most fighter-sized aircraft and 500 milliseconds for the space shuttle or Concorde ...

  3. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    The sonic boom associated with the passage of a supersonic aircraft is a type of sound wave produced by constructive interference. Unlike solitons (another kind of nonlinear wave), the energy and speed of a shock wave alone dissipates relatively quickly with distance. When a shock wave passes through matter, energy is preserved but entropy ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAI_Quiet_Supersonic_Transport

    The reduction in sonic-boom energy is achieved by increasing the ratio of length to wingspan, using canards, and ensuring that the individual pressure waves generated by each part of the aircraft structure reinforce each other less significantly, producing a light rumble on the ground without an objectionable sonic boom like conventional ...

    According to the U.S. Air Force website, a sonic boom can sound like thunder and is typically caused by a jet moving faster than sound, “about 750 miles per hour at sea level.”

  6. The boom was heard Sunday after the U.S. military dispatched six fighter jets to intercept an unresponsive business plane flying over restricted airspace. The Air Force gave the F-16s permission ...

    Testing was planned to cover a range of sonic boom overpressures on the ground similar to but higher than those anticipated from the proposed American SST. [94] In 1966, AV-2 was selected for the program and was outfitted with test sensors. It flew the first sonic boom test on 6 June 1966, attaining a speed of Mach 3.05 at 72,000 ft (22,000 m ...

    Both an earthquake and sonic boom shook parts of the Treasure Coast Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.. About three hours apart, the magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck at about 10:48 p.m ...

  9. Overpressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpressure

    Blast overpressure (BOP), also known as high energy impulse noise, is a damaging outcome of explosive detonations and firing of weapons. Exposure to BOP shock waves alone results in injury predominantly to the hollow organ systems such as auditory, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems.
