After the first aircraft that surpassed the sound barrier (Google X-15) The engineers figured out ways to smooth the transition form sub-sonic to sonic speed. This is mainly done before one is built using computer aided calculations and models in tunnels. Short answer, if the aircraft was built to fly faster than sound, it does not.

What does MACH 1 have to do with sonic booms?
sonic booms happend when and object equals the speed of sound around 755 mph or mach 1
What causes a sonic boom when a space shuttle lands?
Sonic booms occur when an object (space shuttle) is traveling faster than the speed of sound and the air in front of the object is compressed. As the air is compressed it emits a noise, thus the sonic boom.
What happens when I break the sound barrier without a plane or anything?
then you break the sound barrier. it doesn't matter what you break it with, it just booms... o.O
Is the speed of a hummingbirds wings faster than the speed of sound?
No, even if the humming bird is flapping at top speed, it is not faster than the speed of sound. (If they did create sonic booms they would be dangerous Lil birds.
What is a bussiness cycle?
a recurring cycle of booms and busts, recoveries and recessions
How strong would the sonic boom be when Sonic The Hedgehog passes the speed of sound?
Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding a lot like an explosion. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created by the rapid heating and expansion of air in a lightning discharge. Sonic booms occur on a daily basis via aircraft.

If you encounter a sonic boom is that evedence that an aircraft of some sort exceeded the speed of sound moments ago to become supersonic. Define your answer.?
You can't really encounter a sonic boom, but sonic booms do occur when aircrafts exceed the speed of sound.
What does MACH 1 have to do with sonic booms?
sonic booms happend when and object equals the speed of sound around 755 mph or mach 1
What are the release dates for Who Knew - 2010 Sonic Booms 1-83?
Who Knew - 2010 Sonic Booms 1-83 was released on: USA: August 2010
Why would a window shake when a jet flies over the house?
The most usual cause is a sonic-boom. A sonic-boom is when an aircraft breaks/passes the sound barrier or, going faster than sound. Useful links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom- for Sonic booms
What effect did sugar and gold booms have on slave imports?
major booms

What is super sonic aircraft?
Super sonic aircraft is aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound.
What causes a double sonic boom?
The first sonic boom is created by the shock wave coming off the front of the aircraft. The aircraft displaces a large volume of air, and creates a vacuum trailing the craft. The tail end of this vacuum cavity creates a second shock wave. On smaller aerodynamic craft, the cavity might be right behind the tail of the craft, and the separation between the shock fronts is not enough to be able to discern them as distinct booms. On larger and faster aircraft, the cavity can trail significantly behind the tail, and thus create a significant enough separation that two distinct booms are heard.

What is a Sonic Boom and what does it do and how long do they last for?
The term sonic boom is commonly used to refer to the shocks caused by the supersonic flight of an aircraft. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created by the rapid heating and expansion of air in a lightning discharge.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom
