An airplane must fly at speeds equal to or greater than the speed of sound, around 768 mph at sea level, to produce a sonic boom. This creates a shockwave caused by the sudden change in air pressure as the aircraft breaks the sound barrier.
The speed of sound in air at 30 degrees Celsius is around 354 m/s. To produce a sonic boom, an airplane would have to be traveling at a speed faster than the speed of sound, typically around 1.2 to 1.4 times the speed of sound, depending on various factors such as altitude and aircraft configuration.
Yes, a sonic boom occurs when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. It is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air at a speed faster than the speed of sound.
sonic boom as the planes speed exceeds the sound barrier.
When an airplane goes faster than the speed of sound, it reaches the speed of sound barrier, called Mach 1. This can create a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by shock waves produced by the plane breaking the sound barrier. The aircraft is said to be supersonic when flying faster than the speed of sound.
The passenger airplane that flies faster than the speed of sound is called the Concorde.
Supersonic.
Airplanes travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound at sea level is around 767 mph (1,235 km/h), while commercial airplanes can reach speeds of over 600 mph (965 km/h) and military jets can exceed the speed of sound, reaching supersonic speeds.
When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. This is a loud noise produced by the shock waves formed as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
It is going faster than the speed of sound.
An airplane must fly at speeds equal to or greater than the speed of sound, around 768 mph at sea level, to produce a sonic boom. This creates a shockwave caused by the sudden change in air pressure as the aircraft breaks the sound barrier.
Only if it's traveling at less than the speed of sound
No. The sonic boom will be created by any speed that is greater than the speed of sound.
A sonic boom is when an explosive sound is made by the shock wave of an airplane traveling faster then the speed of sound.

Concorde, which is now retired, was the only commercial airliner that flew faster than the speed of sound.
