What is the speed of an aircraft when a conical shock wave is generated by a supersonic aircraft?

Generally speaking, a conical shock wave indicates a disturbance(in this case an aircraft) in the air travelling at a speed greater than that of the sound. But this only happens under ideal conditions. Real aircraft have very complex shapes and some part of the aircraft may experience shock wave earlier than the rest (over the bubble canopy or over the wing), so you usually don't get to find a perfect conical shock wave forming around an aircraft in real life.
