The supersonic boom is the force created by an object exceeding the speed of sound.

The effect of it is quite measurable and can be dangerous.

When a plane is nearing the speed of sound, there is a buildup of sound in front of the plane. I suppose flying a plane at exact the speed of sound is somewhat dangerous as there will be a massive buildup of sound energy that only can spread out sideways and backwards.

As soon as this "wall" of sound energy is breached, it will result in a boom.

If you want to create such a boom, then all you have to do is to gain enough speed.

Make sure you have enough power to travel faster than speed of sound, otherwise the effect could be devastating.

Sound travels at a rate of 340.29 meters per second at sea level or approximately 760 mph. A sonic "boom" is created when the speed passes the speed of sound, and that varies depending on the air pressure.

Simple man made tools can easily create a supersonic boom in miniature.

One of the most common tools able of this is the common Whip. The tip moves at enough velocity in order to create a small boom when used correctly.

What is supersonic waves?

That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).

Why does a supersonic plane disappear when you hear its sound?

When a supersonic plane goes faster than the speed of sound, it creates a shockwave causing a sonic boom. The sound you hear after the plane has passed is the shockwave catching up to the aircraft. This can create the illusion that the plane has disappeared along with the sound.

How many times does a sonic boom occur during the flight of a supersonic aircraft?

A sonic boom occurs when a supersonic aircraft breaks the sound barrier, creating a loud noise. This typically happens twice during the flight - once when the aircraft accelerates to supersonic speed and again when it decelerates back to subsonic speed.


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.
