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.
What else can I help you with?
If you were traveling in a plane at a supersonic speed would you hear the engines?
YesWhen a plane goes through the sound barrier, it produces a wake like a boat going through water. The wake(or waves) propagate out from behind the plane in a cone. Any observer outside this cone does not hear the plane until the shock cone reaches him.If you are a passenger on the plane, then you are traveling the same speed so the sound waves will reach you easily.It is like the illustration of a Fly inside a plane. The Fly can still fly from the back of the plane to the front but he is not going supersonic. He would appear to be going supersonic to someone on the ground.ALso, read the observations of the Astronauts. Their space shuttle reaches Mach 2 or 3 before engine separation and I'm sure they will describe the change in sound.ALTERNATE QUESTION:Do you hear your rockets if you are in Space? There is no atmosphere in space so sound can not travel. However, there is atmosphere inside the rocket so they do hear the vibration.
Noise of a plane approaching at a speed of 1000mph is not heard do you know why?
The speed of sound is approximately 767 mph, so if the plane is moving faster than the speed of sound (supersonic), the noise it generates will not reach the observer until after the plane has passed. This phenomenon is known as a sonic boom.
Is bats produce supersonic sound waves?
the bats do not produce supersonic sounds.they produce ultrasonic sounds.Thats the reason we cant hear them
Would a pilot in a plane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
No, the pilot inside the plane would not typically hear the sonic boom generated by their aircraft when breaking the sound barrier. The shockwaves are behind the plane, so they wouldn't be able to hear it. They may feel some vibration or turbulence, but not the sonic boom itself.
If you encounter a sonic boom is that evedence that an aircraft of some sort exceeded the speed of sound moments ago to become supersonic. Define your answer.?
Yes, encountering a sonic boom is evidence that an aircraft has traveled faster than the speed of sound (supersonic). A sonic boom occurs when an object, in this case, an aircraft, breaks the sound barrier, creating a shock wave that produces a loud noise. So, if you hear a sonic boom, it indicates that a supersonic aircraft has passed at that location.

Why can't a person standing on the ground hear a supersonic airplane until it has flown past the person?
Because the plane is flying faster (and therefore ahead of) its own sound.

We hear a sonic boom just at the moment a supersonic plane flies directly overhead True Or False?
False.
What happens when the plane goes faster the speed of sound?
You would hear the sound after the plane has passed.
Does bullet emit sound while traveling?
Yes, but it is travelling supersonic so you don't hear it until it has passed you or just reached you Not all bullets are supersonic.
Is bats produce supersonic sound waves?
the bats do not produce supersonic sounds.they produce ultrasonic sounds.Thats the reason we cant hear them
Why can bat hear much higher sounds than humans?
bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.

No, the pilot inside the plane would not typically hear the sonic boom generated by their aircraft when breaking the sound barrier. The shockwaves are behind the plane, so they wouldn't be able to hear it. They may feel some vibration or turbulence, but not the sonic boom itself.
Can you see a plane going Mach 2.4?
Yes - but it will be travelling fast ! You will hear the sound of the engines a few seconds after the plane passes overhead.

Why you see the fighter plane first but hear the plane later?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
