Supersonic flight means breaking the sound barrier, but there are some myths as to what pilots actually feel at Mach 1. Here's the truth from experts.

v \ = \frac{x}{t}\) \(v \ = 400 \div 1.2\) \(v \ = 333 \ m/s \ (3 \ sf)\) The accepted value for the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s. However, this experimental method is flawed as humans do not ...

Explores Boom Supersonic's claim of achieving “Boomless Cruise” and what it means for the future of supersonic flight.

Although sound travels quite fast, it is still possible to measure its speed in air. To do this, you need to measure the time it takes a sound to travel a measured distance. To reduce errors ...
