Sonic BOOM - Breaking sound barrier

[07HondaCr125r]

ok the b2 cant go supersonic and just because theres a vapor over the wings doesnt mean is going supersonic that just mean there a change in air pressure on one side of the wings causing water vapor

[jballaviator]

damn captchas are getting challenging

[jballaviator]

lol b2 subsonic. fake



[hamad007charming]

youtube = videos

google = pics

[NavyNole85]

NO NO NO NO NO. There's so much wrong with this video it's not even funny.

[MrDukke45]

FUCKING NOOB FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING "VIDEO"

[tefrumpzax]

b2s cannot break the sound barrier

[jballaviator]

@tefrumpzax maybe in a vertical dive. if the wings don't fall off.

[MrHopgoblin]

These are condensations not the sound barrier..idiots...

[MrHopgoblin]

But only Brits can do it in a car...: ))

[SergeantTitus]

@MrHopgoblin America and Britain are known for their cars. Fuck them little Asians haha

[bo2web]

It's only water Condensation FX on the plane.

[Eldragonic]

Any1 tell me which its the fastest jet n best spy plane in the world

[jballaviator]

@Eldragonic sure, its a satellite,  top speed around 18000km/hr effective range, global. time aloft, indefinate/ best spy plane out there :)

[jballaviator]

@jballaviator otherwise sr71

[airtanker1]

I don't know why the B2 is in this pic group, It is a subsonic aircraft that will NOT fly faster than the speed of sound in level flight. And as for the "cloud" formation on the top of the wing, that is merely condensation.

[likeawhispr]

Keep in mind people that you can get a "cloud" over the wing without being close to the speed of sound. It's not necessarily how fast the aircraft is going, but rather how fast, the temp of the air, relative humidity, etc., going over the aircraft's wing or airfoil (like spoilers raised which often create a lot of condensation over an airliner's wing). It's a shame that U.S. high schools require more English than they do basic chemistry and physics. Totally pathetic.

[likeawhispr]

Huh.... for some reason I thought this was Y-O-U T-U-B-E... meaning post your photographs to flicker, phase, smugmug, et al. Please don't bloat you tube with still photography. Thanks.

[alanp3000]

can someone explain to me what the cloud is exactly .

[wierddude132]

@alanp3000 that is the sound barrier

[Hiflyable]

@wierddude132 It's not. If you don't know don't write.

[Hiflyable]

@alanp3000 That's Prandtl–Glauert singularity. Even the plane goes slower than Ma=1 even so ,,slow'' as Ma=0.7-0.8 the air flows around plane elements can be localy movig (flowing) faster than Ma=1 and thats usualy what happens on wings surfance and a shockwave exist in this area makes us see the condensation by pressure derop before shock wave. Type google : Prandtl-Glauert_singularity.sv­g and see picture with orange wing profile.

[Shadowboost]

@Hiflyable this is absolutely correct! Haven't seen Prandtl-Glauert brought up since undergrad. 

[Hiflyable]

@Shadowboost Thanks. Are you also an aviation engineer, like me ?

[Shadowboost]

@Hiflyable yeah, aeronautical and mechanical engineer.  Compressibility effects start essentially at Mach 0.8

[Hiflyable]

@Shadowboost Cool :)

[cher3mb0]

i do better with my 125cc honda

[mustang65az]

oh great, a slide show LAME

[edwardrha]

1:00 B-2 Spirit bomber's maximum speed is below the speed of sound. Can't even make a sonic boom -.-

[zeriice9900]

jet fart.

[CorsaSport2433]

Sweat the bed !!!

[RegineCarened186]

hiya niemand deutsch hihi

[42867Goat]

That man is right. For example, the B-2 is subsonic yet these magical "sonic cones" appear on it?? *twilight music*

[sam23696]

the whole point of sonic boom is the sound, u cant see a fuckin sonic boom

[ShadowZekromX]

oh god.

[lawnsausages]

I'm not real big on slide shows but this was well done, I'd never 'seen' a sonic boom. Jets aren't the first man made thing to break the sound barrier. Can you guess what is?

dıɥʍ

[howwedo221]

@lawnsausages Yep, a "whip" it is

[GlyndaDeedeept748]

lol bin so lieb

[thompsondeez]

really?? not even some backround music to go with the pictures?

[hyaguinzik]

YouTube or YouPic ? -.-

[MrVoradtralundir]

The B2 is definitely not going supersonic. All you have is a vapor field forming in the low pressure above the SUBSONIC wing. Which you can see anytime an aircraft is flying overhead and generating more lift. You are not much more than an uninformed clueless tease.

[ElCapo]

I hate slideshows..so lame

[willywagtail38]

awesome.



[GillyMike]

Fucking hate these slide show clips, YouTube = moving images ya boring gimp

[imnolegasy]

u do know the spirit bomber cant break the sound barrier

[ErrantChordier]

it's ok to put pictures in a video but you HAVE TO SAY "SLIDESHOW" IN THE TITLE

[johncarloz1212]

the uploader of his is a DICKHEAD!!!!

[flabmaster2000]

I prefer the video of the f14 breaking soundbarrier ....and explodes ^^

[TrashCanManDK]

1:00 is not a sonic boom only vapor passing the wings

[StudebakerHawk57]

@TrashCanManDK Exactly. I wish the folks posting these 'videos' would do their reseach a bit better.

[prerunner01]

B2 is subsonic those are vapor cones.

[JBLaOHeI]

fuck you this is youtube we come here to c videos not pictures

[Nadesico11]

bad video is bad

[Slomoshun09]

Picture videos should be banned from youtube.

[MrDieseltwitch]

@Slomoshun09 No doubt! Come on people use flicker for this crap!

[MrDieseltwitch]

@Slomoshun09 if only people knew about flickr!!!

[porksniffer]

@Slomoshun09 Agreed and the scum who post/upload them should have their accounts banned and deleted instantly!

[IciMymy]

@Slomoshun09 Do you know Good Videos of Sonic Boom on YouTube? ;)

[ChainAlgorithm0]

B2 is supersonic? and norobnucan... the sudden vapor burst in a conic shape around the entire aircraft does not happen. When taking a tight turn at high speed, the pressure can create vapor trails at the the wingtips or off the front edge of the wing. However, what you are seeing in these photos are from a pressure wave of the sonic cone. You can tell by their shape and location.

[robduncan2000]

Why does this say breaking the sound barrier? I dont get it. That stuff happens at any speed. Maybe the one of the F-15. Maybe.

[lordcakedude75]

I think I heard somewhere that the mist being seen is from water condensing around the area of its thrusters once it goes super sonic.

[SpyengoEen]

Portal 3: now with jets!

[deadpool8234]

@SpyengoEen ....the cake is still a lie.

[turbocpt1]

Fuck yeah! Photobucket... wait what?, I know for sure I typed Youtube.

[halluci444]

@fishhug2011 ur wrong faggot

[fishhug2011]

@halluci444 Judging from your well-organized and logical responses, I'm going to guess you don't have a degree in aerodynamics or a related field that would help you understand these concepts. I'll leave you to your incoherent reasoning and misplaced aggression.

[halluci444]

@fishhug2011 ur an idiot. This happens as soon as u break sound barrier.

[fishhug2011]

@halluci444

1) If you're going to call someone an idiot, at least spell your words correctly.

2) The B-2 Spirit is shown, which is a subsonic aircraft.

3) These planes are designed so that the shock attaches to the nose of the aircraft to prevent damage to the wings and allow airflow into the engines.

The pictures are cool, but they're not "sonic booms". A true sonic boom can only be heard.

[fishhug2011]

Every picture in here is showing a Prandtl-Glauert singularity, which occurs in transonic flight and does not denote supersonic flight. Basically, the pressure on the wings drops below the vapor pressure of the surrounding air, creating a vapor cloud. Shock waves are only visible at very high Mach numbers or in rare instances. If you wiki "Railgun", you can see the shock wave in front of the projectile. Note that even at the high Mach number, the shock wave is barely visible.

[BMX4life689]

this is real because when you break the speed of sound your going faster than the oxygen can fill back up the whole u just made in the sky... so basically im saying he just created a little piece of space because their is no air their

[17589]

O_o I didn't think B2's could break the sound barrier. Is it? Far as I know, the B2's max speed is classified.

[sundance8125]

@17589 It's can't. o.O

[17589]

@sundance8125 Check out the video, toward the end, shows some B2's. It *looks* like it's breaking the sound barrier, or at least against it.

I could be wrong.

[freefall321]

@17589 The B2 can break the sound barrier it's the only heavy bomber that the US has that can break it. I saw a flight of 4 B2's do a run on the USS Ranger during a work up , they all had the burners lit and the wings folded back, the last guy cracked it just as he crossed the bow of the ship. Hell of a sight to see and hear.

[17589]

@freefall321 Wings folded back? Erm, surely you talk about the B1 bomber, not the B2.

[livyjoy1102]

its clouds gathering together from the force of the jet, not the sound barrier!

[Rotanderson]

fhotos??? come on

[CALEBTHEGREAT88]

I wonder what it's like actually traveling through it. . . .I mean FUCK ! This has to be the best job in the world. F our military recruitment parameters, I should be allowed to do things like this

[roylanc19]

my shit hits the toilet this fast

[jokadiablo]

star trek teleporting

[spadedaceful]

i agree B2 is a sub sonic aircraft and it should have caught anyone who knows anything about stealth or aircraft at the pic for the video thats tha whole reason i checked this video out lol

[robduncan2000]

OMG. Talk about an idiot. Everyday normal condensation does not mean an aircraft is breaking the sound barrier. There is even a pic of an F-14 that doesnt even have its wings back. For heavens sakes, who talked the person who uploaded this into thinking these are all pics of aircraft breaking the sound barrier? A couple are. The F-15 at the beginning was. A few others. But far less than 90%. This was moronic.

[Racefreak1976]

DUDE! If I want to look at pictures, I go out and buy the Playboy Magazine!

[vogelbekdier97]

Traveling through time :D

[tramway5051]

pictures don't break the sound barrier...

[privateKALBAS]

How could a B-2 break the sound barrier? its a subsonic jet.

[Thercflyer96]

@privateKALBAS the vapor ring(white stuff) happens when he air hit the wing at a special angle, and that angle causes the water vapor to seperate from the air and whosh, there you go, it also happens a special speeds (hence it happening in all these pictures, the sound barrier is one of those speeds)

[toogoodbw]

@privateKALBAS Its not breaking the sound barrier.

[2R0bin0]

@privateKALBAS The B-2 can reach up speeds of 1010 km/h above 12000 m (says wikipedia). That's Mach 0.8245. When the Mach number is between 0,8 and 1,2 the airplane will fly transonic. The local speed of an air particle can be much higher than the airspeed (I'm not going to explain this), so some parts are already moving at the speed of sound when the airplane is not. Because of these flow phenomena you can see the 'Vapor cone' at certain moments. Hope this helps...

[privateKALBAS]

@2R0bin0 it's clear now, thx!

[theramoz1]

This is 1,236 kilometres per hour (768 mph)

[accura2002]

@PizzaBones101 many dislikes because the title is wrong. these are not sonic booms but vapor cones

[dughhhdudh]

@accura2002

yes and what usually happens when a jet breaks the sound barrier..a vapor cone forms from the condensation..dumbass

[accura2002]

@dughhhdudh

wow, relax. take a deep breath, have a cup of coffee, read wikipedia and come back cos vapor cones can form at sub-sonic too...

[dughhhdudh]

@accura2002

and where is your evidence that these planes arent breaking the sound barrier? exactly dont have any evidence that they arent or are..just gotta use common sense (:

[accura2002]

@dughhhdudh

i just don't know why you started to argue with me. good night, can't be bothered.

[fnlrun]

@accura2002

It's actually the pressure wave. As the aircraft comes out in front of it, the sound barrier is broken.

[TheMarcusalo]

@fnlrun your right so you know lots about aircraft?

[PizzaBones101]

*cool

[PizzaBones101]

why so many dislikes its coll :(

[werwr4]

stargate sg1.

[IveGotYourChange]

This is not a sonic boom. This is a shockwave caused by speed and condensation depending on how humid the day is. They are probably going around 600 MPH while they do this.

[KrautGoesWild]

I always thought that the B-2 can´t go supersonic...

[sleadman1]

@KrautGoesWild i thought the same thing...i know the f117 cant but maybe the b2 can, who really knows besides the government and the pilots that fly them

[cruisingcody]

@sleadman1

nope, B-2 can only reach mach 0.95, that's what wiki says anyways, either way it's faster than F-117

[MrMojaveRedneck]

@cruisingcody It depends on the elevation, the higher the elevation, the thinner the air density is and so the faster you have to be going to reach "break the sound barrier".

Sources: USAF

[DerPilotMann]

These are all just pictures of water vapor condensing around the wings. None of these have necessarily broke the sound barrier. Some may have (particularly over open ocean, it is illegal to break the sound barrier over land, at least in the US), but certainly not all. Just like they never break the sound barrier at airshows. Still, some good images. Thanks for posting!

[dereklsept]

@DerPilotMann its not illegal to break the sound barrier over land in the US...the military has several special uses airspaces over the country where it's perfectly fine, just not necessarily around heavily populated areas, three prime examples are the airspace near Eilson AFB Nellis, and Edwards AFB

[zChopstickx]

Pssh, The plane didn't do crap. Guile stood in the back of the plane and did a SONIC BOOM.!

[stevenlawl]

i like that red lightsaber!

[hypermeteorito6]

1:00 F-117 Nighthawk cannot break the barrer sound

[a380j]

@hypermeteorito6 thats not the f-117 nighthawk thats a B-2 spirit bomber.

[izrkayjayzxv]

0:40 jizz 0:56 jizz

[Mrdrizzyful]

yes we did..

[AssassinSO4]

Its like portal 2 but with jets!



[STKhero]

maybe if we break the light barrier we can finally teleport.... or get a light boom... or whatever we will call it.

[plugs313]

@STKhero But... Einstein said we can't... to bad...

[STKhero]

@plugs313 people said we couldnt make it into space, n look now

[plugs313]

@STKhero Very true... very true...

[chris1980x]

@plugs313 shrinking the space could be an option for the future lol

[442hoeky]

@plugs313 Einstein may have been wrong.

w.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/­09/neutrinos-faster-than-light­/

[plugs313]

@442hoeky Ya! isn't that a mind blower?!?

[mike47912]

lol how does that occur?

[Dongskie2]

1:04 the B2 bomber flies subsonic and is incapable of Supersonic speeds. that is merely a condensation of air, obviously in the background are 2 F-15s flyig at the same speed and obviously not breaking the sound barrier.

[thebakerman1]

The title should read, "P-I-C-T-U-R-E-S of Sonic BOOM - Breaking sound barrier"

[Euugor]

Perfect change to explain what irony means!

The video title has the word sound in it, yet there´s no sound!

[spacepatrolman]

@Euugor rickenbacker guitars had guitar amplifiers called transonic but it is impossible for sound to come out of a speaker faster than the speed of sound no matter how powerful the amplifier

[MapleLeafAce]

@spacepatrolman Indeed. Breaking the sound barrier refers to solid objects traveling faster than sound it is producing. Breaking the sound barrier refers to an action upon the sound waves, not the sound itself. Sounds can and will ONLY ever travel at the speed of sound, being sound itself.

[Kesonjeta]

@MapleLeafAce You exploded my brain, thanks

[Martijnvanderklip]

youtube is for videos dipshit

[walosbux]

es simple cuando el sonido traspasa su propio sonido se produce una condensación del agua, es decir cuando hay mucha humedad y el agua en forma gaseosa se forma esta figura .

[Fireburnin21]

Why the dislike more than like? This is real stuff people..

[florinelooo]

@Fireburnin21 Because at least 1592 people came for some video not pictures.

why dislike -_-'

[fabriciobrisola1]

Beautiful images and beautiful machines

[mrtangelo885]

LUDICRUS SPEED

[ACfireandiceDC]

The one at 1:00 is fake, the B-2 Spirit is high subsonic.

[fredmdbud]

@ACfireandiceDC It's not fake, water condensation can be seen forming along leading edges at subsonic speeds. Happens all the time.

[MapleLeafAce]

@fredmdbud y'know i never did understand why the condensation formed like that

[soufla2007]

only pictures!

[TheHenne100]

Portal :D

[TheSimsek911]

B2-Spirit is not supersonic

[MrKillkivey]

@TheSimsek911 lol the B-2 Spirit barely goes 700.



[monsieuriey]

just picture. super boring!

[mitch13815]

sonic rainbooms are cooler :P

[SupernalOne]

the visible condensate must form at the point of the shock wave coming off the leading surfaces -- you can see the same effect when a big bomb goes off (like dropping a high-explosive bomb from a plane) -- the shock wave of the explosion expands outward rapidly, and as it moves through the air a momentarily expanding condensation cloud forms and dissipates -

[nascar24winning]

i come from the future

[comander4007]

it looks like its teleporting

[akorn45]

@comander4007 are you sure? what does teleporting look like?

[69tdunn]

@comander4007 Yeah the 14 second one looks like a teleport:) good call

[jonsien]

enter in other dimention :D

[Beatleslegendsame]

breaking sound barier.mpg shows the video

[blackcatsqdn]

Pics are good but don't necessarily show aricraft breaking the sound barrier. They do however show water vapor condensing from the wake of the plane. And FYI, the B-2 is a subsonic plane...

[stephane7074]

It will be difficult for anyone to equal this video....stunningly brilliant..... Absolutely perfectly matched music. Type google: " élégant bird - Patrick aviation"

[TheJojolynn1]

what is breaking the sound barier

[MattGuitLead]

@TheJojolynn1 In aerodynamics, the sound barrier usually refers to the point at which an aircraft moves from transonic to supersonic speed. The term came into use during World War II when a number of aircraft started to encounter the effects of compressibility, a collection of several unrelated aerodynamic effects that "struck" their planes like an impediment to further acceleration. By the 1950s, new aircraft designs started to routinely "break" the sound barrier. wikipédia

[TheJojolynn1]

somwone explain what breaking the sound barier is

[TerranCmdr]

WOW! The planes are not only breaking the sound barrier, but also the video barrier!

[ZvedKa]

a B-2 breaking the sound barrier? LOL, C-130 can do it too XD

[RZ3296]

Well that was pathetic!

[xmxzooyorkxmx]

breaking the sound barrier WITH NO SOUND
