What is the significance of the vapor cone in supersonic flight?

The vapor cone, also known as a shock collar or shock egg, is a visible phenomenon that occurs when an aircraft is flying at or near the speed of sound. It is significant because it indicates that the aircraft is traveling at supersonic speeds, creating a sudden change in air pressure that causes water vapor in the air to condense and form a cone-shaped cloud around the aircraft. This visual cue helps pilots and observers identify when an aircraft has reached or exceeded the speed of sound.
