What strange thing happens to the Concorde when it flies faster than sound?

When the Concorde flies faster than sound, it experiences a shockwave known as a sonic boom. This causes a loud and distinctive noise to be heard on the ground as the aircraft passes overhead. The sonic boom is caused by the rapid displacement of air molecules as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
