@TheAjdelvalle84 Now this is an interesting point. I've never heard the suggestion that you can't achieve supersonic speeds at low altitude. With enough speed this should be possible, no?
@jondiorio The F-18 Super Hornet can go Mach 2.34 at height and Mach 1.2 at sea level. Although TheAjdelvalle84 is correct in that at height, due to the thinner atmosphere, supersonic flight is far easier to achieve.
Yeah, if that was super-sonic you wouldn't have heard it until after it passed and you would hear it in the form of an explosion followed by bloody ear drums.
If it was going supersonic at that altitude that close to you, your ears would bleed, you would probably go death, and it would probably knock you off the boat if not capsize it.
Not allowed to break the barrier except in war time or over the open ocean. He was close to supersonic. The Vapor cone on the back of the plane was created by shock waves creating a low pressure which causes the air to cool to its dew point and then moisture is released. A vapor cone has nothing to do with being supersonic! It's simply hydrodynamics.
not supersonic, just fast, the vapour cone shape seen on the aircraft is just from the moisture in the air found so close to the water. These can appear at many speeds and altitudes
its not supersonic, and those pictures with the vapor penumbra are not supersonic either , there are no videos from the ground of a low flying super sonic flyby, just doesnt happen, well maybe one, and that f-18 was destroyed when it pulled up, its around youtube somewhere, these are all spectacular enough without hyping them
that was not super sonic it was 0.9 mach almost super sonic see the vapor around the airplane thats a strong indication that the plane is still sub sonic.
I will say this though. As someone in this field, virtually if not all low pass fly bys over civilian populated areas such as this are not supersonic by regulation. They are typically near supersonic, around 700 mph. Supersonic speed (peed of sound) is 741 mph at sea level. If you're lucky eough to be off shore however such as on a carrier, you will get to experience a true supersonic fly by and you will know of from the sonic boom and halo. There will be no doubt.
What's all the arguement about whether the video subsonic or supersonic? How gives a fuck? It;s a cool video. Besides, noi single person claiming that it's subsonic or supersonic knows. How woud they know? They wouldn't. Just enjoy the video.
aculy that was probly at the supersonic marker not above not below becouse the sound came at exacly the same moment as when the f-18 was parelell to them. Please excuse my spelling i typed it fast and i dont wana go correct it.
SUBSONIC .99 WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK ITS SUPERSONIC IT GRINDS MY GEARS I REALLY WISH IT WAS SUPERSONIC SO THAT OLD FART WOULD HAVE ON DEAF AND THE LENS IN THAT CAMERA WOULD HAVE SHATTERED
They rarely break the sound barrier at air shows. Unless the airshow is out in podunk nowhere. Breaking the sound barrier also breaks windows. The vapor cone does not mean the sound barrier was broke. It means that the jet was very close. The vapor cone is the condensation building up on the derailed compressed air when the air doesn't have enough time to contour the body of the jet.
It wasnt a sonic boom. If it was a sonic boom, most of the windows in the area in a half square mile wouldve blown out, and eardrums wouldve blown out. You cant SEE a sonic boom. Boom=sound/shockwave. The FAA only allows people to legaly fly supersonic in certain areas, and around thousands of people in a populated area isnt one of them. So get your facts straight.
@AmJaxineer If the plane actually reached supersonic, the sound barrier would break, causing a series of very loud pops, that would damage the hearing of the onlookers... which is why performance teams are not aloud to demonstrate at these speeds near people. Due to faa regulations and navy policy the blues never fly a show that requires them to exceed 600 mph near crowds a safety rule implamented in 1999. you might have misunderstood mph for knotts.
@rockmasterdan1993 Why are you telling me this? I already know that. My comment was made to critcize all the people on here that keep thinking and saying he's going supersonic. Number 5 reaches around 690kts or so as low as 50ft for the sneak pass. And I didnt say anything in my post about mph vs kts. Fact is if he was going faster than the speed of sound, one would see the plane go by before the sound of it did...and its booms.
@AmJaxineer How many idiots does it take to keep claiming that any fast jet is supersonic? The world knows they far outnumber the intelligent people who have some grasp of physics.
He's not supersonic he's definitely well in to transonic speeds probably around M0.95ish, he was pretty much at you when you heard it, but not past you... still props on the spot and great timing must have been a thrill and yes watching their practice runs comes in handy especially when out on the boat. Great vid 5 stars!
if that was supersonic then the people that made the video would not be able to hear anymore, you should hear the bang from a jet going super sonic and then tell me if you believe that was supersonic...
@MooreProductionsMP3 Do you really want to play this game with a licensed commercial pilot? A few things...1) I hope you realize that you cant 'SEE" the sound barrier or it being broken. The cloud that you see is what happens when the water vapor around the air being evaporated by the heat generated from the friction of the jet moving through the air. It usually happens on days with high relative humidity and can occur at really any airspeed. Happens on airliners all the time.
@bzubrod Before you flame someone for incorrect descriptions, you should review your facts, too. Yeah, you're a commercial pilot, whatever. I'm an aero engineer. It's not caused by evaporation by heat. Do you really think airliners taking off produce vapor because they're going so fast that it's caused by heat? I'm sorry, but at V2 you're going so slow that cars and trains move faster than that. No significant heat there. It's caused by pressure, not heat.
VR plus the speed increment attained (in accordance with §25.111(c)(2)) before reaching a height of 35 feet above the takeoff surface; and
(3) A speed that provides the maneuvering capability specified in §25.143(h) [This means in a clean configuration on 1 engine (2 or 3 if you are a 3 or 4 engine aircraft)].
@zwitter345 I have never been in a commercial jet, that does not reach at least 80 kts before even hitting V1 so I think its safe to say that at V2 you are traveling a little faster than a car would, unless you drive your car down the road at 100 kts+. Unless you want to really get technical and go with a NASCAR or Formula one car, or a bullet train in Europe or Asia for the train reference. Ill give you those.
@MooreProductionsMP3 2.) No aircraft is allowed to break the sound barrier over any populated area and the only place over the continental United States that military aircraft are allowed to do it is in an active MOA (Military Operations Area) and only above a specified altitude. They are NEVER allowed to go passed Mach 1 that low, or over a populated area, OR at an airshow. Last...you would have heard a sonic boom...and at that low the boat would have shook.
@MooreProductionsMP3 Why do people have this misconception that if water vapor condenses around an aircraft, then the aircraft is breaking the sound barrier? Its the same principle that causes the contrails behind a jet at high altitudes. Make sure you know what you are talking about before you say it.
I believe bloke in frame was trying to get his camera prep'd once he got sight of him...obviously didnt think to get it done before he came into view, cause they don't stick around long at that speed! nice. My interview for pilot selection in the RAAF starts tomorrow!
@jessellanos787 if the plane was 20mph below the speed of sound, do you think you'd be able to tell based on the arrival of the sound? No.
1) There was no double boom. 2) The Blues don't fly supersonic during their shows. The sneak pass is just below supersonic...every time. 3) If it was supersonic, directly overhead, and that altitude, it's unlikely that the response would've been "woohoo."
Find some real over-water supersonic footage and notice the completely different sound with the booms
if he went supersonic there would have been a sonic boom. and there was a sonic boom they would most likely be bleeding from their ears. not good not good

Haulin', but subsonic, like nearly every single YT video labeled as being 'supersonic'.
You guys had a seriously good vantage point, though! Good footage!

Thanks. It took years to figure out the positioning vs their routine. Watching the practice runs definitely helps.

@coma13794 it was super sonic you saw the plane an then heard the sound which means the plane was moving faster than the sound

@jessellanos787 if the plane was 20mph below the speed of sound, do you think you'd be able to tell based on the arrival of the sound? No.
1) There was no double boom. 2) The Blues don't fly supersonic during their shows. The sneak pass is just below supersonic...every time. 3) If it was supersonic, directly overhead, and that altitude, it's unlikely that the response would've been "woohoo."
Find some real over-water supersonic footage and notice the completely different sound with the booms

if he went supersonic there would have been a sonic boom. and there was a sonic boom they would most likely be bleeding from their ears. not good not good
