∙ 12y agoA sonic boom is produced when an object, such as a jet, breaks the sound barrier and begins traveling a speed faster than that of sound, which varies based on many factors including temperature, altitude and gas composition.

∙ 14y agoThis occurs at Mach 1, which is the speed of sound. At this speed the sound waves traveling out in front of the aircraft become compressed into a single intense front or "shock wave" which forms a cone shape with the point of the cone on the aircraft's nose, and spreading out behind the aircraft. If you're standing on the ground as the low flying jet goes past, you will hear the "boom" as the shock wave passes you. By the way, thunder is also a variety of sonic boom produced naturally by air collapsing at nearly the speed of sound around a lightning bolt.

Does a supersonic aircraft make a sonic boom only when it cracks the sounds barrier?
yes
Can any commercial passenger airplane cause a sonic boom?
In order to make a sonic boom, the aircraft must become supersonic. Most passenger aircraft are subsonic.
What can make a sonic boom?
Most military combat aircraft can make a sonic boom, even space shuttles. The aircraft flies up to Mach 2, twice as fast as the speed of sound and can travel more than one thousands miles per hour, which is much faster than the speed of sound. A supersonic passenger aircraft can also beat the speed of sound (it is called air France the Concorde). A supersonic boat can also make a sonic boom and there are even supersonic cars the fastest land vehicle. There is a Russian supersonic bomber called the Tu-160 Blackjack and the United States has a supersonic bomber called the B-1 bomber.
How loud is the sound from a sonic boom?
Typically, the loudness of a sonic boom may exceed up to 200 decibels or higher, depending on the rate and the distance in which the sound barrier is being broken through. To make sense of this figure, the volume of busy traffic during rush hour is around 80 to 90 decibels.
How fast do you have to go to make a sonic boom?
Whatever material you're moving through, you have to move faster than the speed of sound in that material.

What year did the supersonic airline Concorde aircraft make it's final flight?
2003
How many miles an hour do you have to go to make a sonic boom?
1000
What are typical A-10 aircraft missions?
Make things go boom.
Does every shuttle make the sonic boom during re entery?
The sonic boom is an artifact of exceeding the speed of sound. As any shuttle would reenter earth's atmosphere way in excessive of that speed, yes, every reentry should be accompanies by a sonic boom.
How would you make a sonic boom?
Crack a whip, its tip exceeds the speed of sound.
Can a meteor make a sonic boom?
When an object travels faster than the speed of sound in Earth's atmosphere, a shock wave can be created that can be heard as a sonic boom. Large meteors frequently produce audible sonic booms before they are slowed by the atmosphere.
Will rouge the bat make her appearance in the new season of sonic boom?
maybe she will one day
