Why no shock in subsonic?

A sonic boom is created by a shock wave when an object travels faster than the the speed of sound, or mach1. If the object does not achieve mach1 then there will be no sonic boom.

How does an air speed indicator work?

Aircraft speedometers are based on the shock wave principle. the shock wave is directly proportional to the plane"s speed and this is determined through a pitot rube and also a static tube, which normally protrude from the wings,. There is the usual dial and speed indications. The Air Speed indicator measures Air speed. It is NOT based on wheel rotation as are speedometers on most land vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, and locomotives. For this reason airmen nearly always refer to the device as an Air Speed indicator, Not as a speedometer. there you have it.


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.

Is the shock wave of a nuke radioactive?

No, but you will already have been irradiated by the radioactivity contained in the light given off by the expanding fire ball (which travels to you at the speed of light). The shock wave hits you after this because the shock wave travels in the medium of the air (at the speed of sound). It will then be followed by the blast which may contain radioactive debris (partials) formed by the nuke. You are then hit by the fallout from the mushroom cloud which is heavy with radioactive debris.
