  • Thumbs down for being an incorrect description of the video content.

  • @Jim5769 lol...do you even know the concept of braking the sound barrier?

  • @udittlamba you must mean "breaking", since I doubt you're suggesting that one can stop or slow the sound barrier by "braking".

    The title of the video claims it of an F18 crossing the sound barrier, but since the plane doesn't cross the sound barrier, the title is misleading. Cool visual, but unfortunate choice of title. Should say "near" or "approaches" the sound barrier--either of which would have been accurate.

  • It approaches the barrier...it did not cross it.

  • @Jim5769 you are now getting too scientific...:P

  • It's only water Condensation FX on the plane.

  • why is this a video message to vERY fUNNY cATS 3?

  • @M9T38Productions U only hear a boom because it passes by u. The noise is constant

  • Subsonic flight. This is only a vapour cone.

  • ....The hedgehog

  • I wish I was there to see :(

  • that wasnt even the sound barrier, it was a vapour cone!

  • hahaha the plane is like "get the fuck out of the way air"

  • I like it .. ! ))

  • this is why it took 10 years to find bin laden

  • after wasting a lot of time nexus1g makes some valuable points

  • @sasuke11911 who are u smartass?? obama??

  • nope, vtec just kicked in lol

  • @shinyfuzzy Fuckin' ricers... :P

  • @sasuke11911 My guess would be that this has been done outside populated areas (towards the end, you can see mountains in the background).

  • @sasuke11911 Ha I didn't know condensation explodes. -_-

  • @sasuke11911

    This is right at supersonic just below. The Navy and Airforce however break the sound barrier at airshows often over water.

  • @sasuke11911 We saw and heard it in France, at a vacation park.

  • That was just a vapor cone. Didn't actually break the sound barrier.

  • @sasuke11911 theres something you missed here...... the white thing around the plane is not condensation...... and no......

  • hahaha you fukcing dumbass... crossing the sound berrier... hes not flying into a portal of sound!

  • @sasuke11911 I don't know why that's so funny to me. Like they made it illegal because there's such a "sound barrier breaking" problem in our country. O_o

  • omg slow down, slow down, slow down. that was pretty awsome.

  • @gmodfreak09, sonic booms don't break glass, 2 f-14s flew over my farm on 911 going to Chicago, no broken glass. But you could hear and feel everything shake!! Scared the shit out of me!!

  • @sasuke11911

    How do you define "populated area"? I was at an airshow where they did it, deliberately. Twice.

  • they call breaking the sound barrier also a sonic boom because the noice it makes is boom, no breaking = no boom

  • i hear stuff like that because ther is a air force by my house in hoestead

  • @ZodiacRonaldinho34 You don't here sonic booms, they break glass

  • I wish I could get an rc plane to do this lol

  • @sasuke11911 That is incorrect. The sound you hear from cracking a whip is from breaking the sound barrier, and that sure as hell isn't illegal!

  • Comment removed

  • @alecwhardy You know what he meant -_-

  • to be honest I don't think it broke the sound barrier. Sounded like it just turned up the afterburners or something, at that close to be able to track it with the camera like that looks more like 250-300 mph

  • to serve. to fly.

  • @sasuke11911 How come?

  • @KingHuevos

    because a sonic boom is destructive.

  • @SanRafaelSwell Really? What type of damage can it cause?

  • @KingHuevos

    It can shatter windows. I grew up around army and air force bases and saw/heard it happen. The jet on the video certainly isn't going 740+ mph, what it takes to break the sound barrier. My guess is that it was a vapor cloud coming off of the jet.

  • @yanksguy23 Oh wow. I didnt know that. Thanks!

  • Wheres the rainbow?

  • @Dragonkin1313 Bronies invading ALL the internets.

  • @koreanstyler yep, pretty much

  • sonic the hedgehog better be running

  • @hopmedic You stated, "[The vapor cloud] has nothing to do with the speed of sound." That statement is completely false. That vapor cloud ONLY has an opportunity to appear in transonic flight.

  • @nexus1g I stated a fact. The speed at which the vapor cloud forms depends on relative humidity and the characteristics of the plane. The plane in the above video is closer to half the speed of sound than it is to the speed of sound, yet the vapor barrier that you say cannot form without transsonic flight is clearly formed, disproving your statement. The speed at which the vapor cloud forms is not related to the speed at which sound travels.Yes, there are indeed stupid people.

  • @hopmedic You are using your subjective belief of how fast an aircraft traveling near the speed of sound should seem to move to you as your argument. That's simply logical fallacy. In order to get that vapor cone that you see in this video, shock waves MUST be compressed to near infinite pressure which ONLY occurs in transonic and greater flight.

  • def you were moving ur head faster then the sound barrier

  • Why would there be the displaced air cone if it didn't break the sound barrier?

  • Comment removed

  • omg he didnt break the sound barrier!!!!1 you would here a loud ass boomb

  • UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU­U !!!

  • SOOOOOOOOOONIC BOOOOM! (guile's voice)

  • wooooow amaaaazing ^^

  • Im only wearing a snuggie right now twistin my chest hair... Does that turn you on guy under me?

  • and i just came, god dammit

  • Yeah been on the ground during a night op and have had a the sound barrier broken above me and it shakes the ground

  • it wasnt breaking the sound barrier??? A) its nothing to do with breaking the sound barrier when you see the vapour cloud... and B) you can hear the F-18 coming..

  • not super sonic, thumbs fucking down.

  • That plane didn't look like it was going nearly fast enough to break the sound barrier.

  • that was so fuckin sexy

  • Sounded like freaking Rob Synder screaming YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH as the pilot did it

  • If you listen to the video, the guy says he didn't break the sound barrier but he was flirting with it. Shut the hell up trying to sound cool.

  • subsonic!!!!

  • It didn't break the sound barrier. Came close, but it didn't break it.

  • They're not allowed to break the sound barrier over populated areas, so this is actually not quite a sonic boom.

  • Speed isn't that fast now...

  • Not pass the sound barrier, sonic boom there was therefore not the way

  • Amazing ! ;-)

  • it didnt break the sound barrier,he did like another f-18 did in Oshkosh Airventure 2011,it formed the pressure cone but didnt break the sound barrier

  • MY GOD IS IT SO HARD TO FIGURE IT OUT THAT NO BOOM MEANS NOT SUPERSONIC?

  • this may sound like a stupid quistion but if your travaling faster than the speed of sound can you still hear yourself/ your plane if so how?

  • @12squirrelsnuts12 the speed of your voice is travelling the speed of sound plus the speed of the plane. So technically your voice would be doing mach 2. So, yes you can still hear yourself.

  • i like this

  • not supersonic. Condensation around parts of the plane mean that airflow around the plane was going supersonic, but not the actual plane. It was probably going mach .95-.99

  • @scooter986986 No one said anything about it being supersonic. "Crossing the sound barrier" = transonic flight which could be anywhere from Mach .8 to Mach 1.2.

  • conditions.

    The only real way to know its speed is to ask the pilot (if you can contact him) and ask him how many knots was displayed on his Airspeed indicator at the time during this clip.

    So first you must find the pilot, which youll fail at. Secondly he probably wont remember it anymore.

    the speed of sound can be 1235km/h

    It can also be 1260 or 1210km/h

    depends on those 3 changing factors.

  • Why do people say the sonic boom can cause windows to shatter and ears to become deaf. Ive been at a military base, and there was constantly F18s flying over tipping and going over the speed of sound with loud bangs and wing condensation in some cases. Never got close to being deaf. Not to mention it flew about 1 mile over the camp.

    Just to answer the question for you @mrwill502

    its speed depends on altitude, humidity, temperature.

    Cause the speed of sounds differens under those 3 changing

  • @InODependanceSyndrom because it was going supersonic a mile up. At 100 feet or however low this guy was, everyone on the deck would be deaf and every pane of glass on the bridge would be broken.

  • @broLAXgoalie12 .....um yeah, i dont think so. Your info isnt entirely correct.

  • @broLAXgoalie12 You sound more like someone trying to be a "know it all"

  • @caibra88 or someone that's right

  • that wasnt breaking the sound barrier as that is now illegal overground since 1997 because a plane breaking the sound barrier caused all glass to shatter in a 5 mile radius if it had broken it your camera would also have cracked this was just water vapour

  • @MrWill502 You tell me something smartarse, what is the speed is the plane going and what speed does it have to be to break it ? Also water vapour doesn't react like that.

  • your dead before you see the plane!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thats just condensation on the shock wave @Cardinals525 if a sonic boom were to happen that close to you your ears would go deaf and then bleed

  • Pause, Play, bring back to biginning and HOLD space.

    Enjoy in slow motion ;)

  • U should change the title of your video.

  • I can wack off faster than thsaat thing can fly

  • Semua orang barat disini KONTOL! tai babi anjing ngentot! tai anjing!! bangsat keparat kontol!!

  • Again Dick Head, it's not the sound barrier, it's just condensation on the shock wave!!!!!.

  • @jtube1374 Thats the sound barrier broham. Condensation isnt... Oh my god I just want to slap you the fuck up

  • @Cardinals525

    I guess that would make you violent, as well as stupid and ill informed.

  • 0:10 "He never broke it but he was flirting with it" lol

  • I remember when I first experienced a sonic boom. I was about 10 years old. It was at a beach called Johnson's beach and there was an airshow going on. When it was break time a group of Blue Angels come out of no where and made a sonic boom.

  • why is it that videos with only pictures of a sonic boom effect have more views than the video

  • uau è stato bello quando ha superato 1 M che si è visto il cono di mach

  • was that 702.1 mph ??? NO way !

  • F18 is a plane so slow that I did not think could break the sound barrier.LOL

  • @Stazzo82 and who said the FA18 was a slow plane???? it goes 1300mph smarty.

  • @jobblas is slow compared to other fighters

  • u are sooo stupid damn lol

    

  • Not the sound barrier, idiots. 

  • @jabrooonni it is because you cant hear it before it passes the camera

  • @TheXxVIP3RxX No. It is because it wasn't travelling over 768 mph.

  • @TheXxVIP3RxX It didnt break the sound barrier. If it is going just below the speed of sound for instaance and is like 1,000 ft in front of you it will take a second for the sound to hit you thus you cnt hear it until it passes. and if it broke the sound barrier. you would hear a distinct double bang.

  • 0:04 sounds like chris griffin or adam samler

  • FUCK YEAH!

  • The cloud you see is a Prandtl-Glauert singularity and is caused by localised supersonic and transonic airflow over the plane's surfaces. Put simply, the air flows faster over some parts of the plane than over others and the aircraft itself was only doing around 400-500 knots. Sorry to piss on your bonfire

  • @SaabDropTop ur right about that, u can even hear the guy say ":he didnt break it but he was flirtin with it"

  • yeah thats not supersonic but still great video. if the plane breaks the sound barrier youll here a more sudden crack!

    the vapour clouds are a function of pressure, and do not necessarily mean the airspeed is above mach 1

  • that it so bad ass.

  • It didn't quite get to supersonic. Still a cool video.

    

  • AMAZING!!!!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!

  • i want to be into that plane . '-'

  • Damn, I wanted to say something to the pilot, but my sound couldnt reach it.

  • Not many people know much about subsonic, and supersonic passes.

  • HA! My car breaks the sound barrier without even leaving the garage coz you can see the same effect coming from the exhaust pipe on a cold winter morning just after starting the engine.

  • Guile can do that with his fists.

  • The vapor cloud that you see that you are referring to as "breaking the sound barrier" is not. It has nothing to do with the speed of sound. You would not believe the boom that you would have heard had the sound barrier been broken. I have heard said boom one time - shortly after 9/11 when fighters responded to an air incident near Chicago. What you see has everything to do with relative humidity (see all the clouds?). To put it simply, the water is being squeezed out of the air.

  • @hopmedic and it smashes dem windows around it

  • @DJSexLeopard cool story bro.

  • @wheeelieboi250 FUCK YOU. YOU LITTLE BITCH ASS FAGGOT DONT TALKT SHIT ON ME MOTHER FUCKER YOU ONLY THINK YOUR FUCKING ASS IS TUFF THROUGH THE INTERNET YOU LITTLE BITCH.

  • @DJSexLeopard haha you madt.

  • @wheeelieboi250 WELL WHATS UP MOTHER FUCKER? I LIVE AT 26099 E Central Ave, Redlands CA 92374. LETS DO THIS SHIT KID. ANYIMTE ANYWHERE MOTHER FUCK. I AM 26 5'11 AND 200 POUNDS OF PURE FUCKING MUSCLE. SO LETS DO THIS IF U WANT TO TALK SHIT TO ME BITCH

  • @DJSexLeopard shut the fuck up filthy nigger

  • @BlueDrankFX LETS DO THIS SHIT THEN DOG? YOUR SPEAKING REALLY FUCKING LOUD OVER THE INTERNET LETS SEE IF YOU CAN BACK IT UP WITH WORDS MOTHER FUCKING PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!

  • @DJSexLeopard THE FUCK YOU LIVE BITCH

  • @BlueDrankFX I told you. I live in California. But it's all good bro. Im not trying to fight anyone anymore. I got it out of my system. Now just leave me be...

  • @DJSexLeopard hahahaha you dork! hahaha youuu maadddd!!!!!

  • @wheeelieboi250 just leave me alone!

  • @DJSexLeopard nerd.

  • @wheeelieboi250 forget you

  • @hopmedic

    Hey know any vids on here where its a real breaking of the sound barrier?

  • @hopmedic It does in fact have to do with breaking the sound barrier. It is called the Prandtl-Glauert singularity. Look it up. I don't know how you got 34 thumb ups on this comment. There's some damn stupid people in the world.

  • @nexus1g This plane did not break the sound barrier... you will not hear the plane at all until it passes and their will be a massive boom or "crack" and then a ton of noise. There are a few true videos of planes flying faster than Mach 1 on youtube... you can tell the difference.

  • @CTSV4MEE I never said that the plane did. However, in transonic flight, there is air moving faster than sound.

  • @nexus1g Gotcha... I miss read what you wrote. You are correct, the vapor wave does occur during transonic flight.

  • watch?v=dNkP4WwJInE&feature=re­lated

    This is a real video of a plane flying supersonic

  • @nexus1g

    First, this plane is not going anywhere near the speed of sound, which, in dry air, at sea level, at 20°C, is 768 mph. This plane is probably doing between 200 and 400 mph.

    It is against the law to break the sound barrier over CONUS except in emergency. The sonic boom that is associated with breaking the sound barrier would rupture every eardrum in this crowd and many windows in the vicinity. The vapor cloud you see has everything to do with air pressure and relative humidity.

  • @hopmedic Do you see the Prandtl-Glauert singularity vapor cone? Yes? You're flat out wrong, and that's the proof. You're right that they can't break the sound barrier at an air show over land, but every supersonic plane that they state is going to do a high-speed fly-by is going to be passing at transonic speeds (Mach .8+).

    And, no, the sonic boom would not rupture eardrums and break windows. Check Mythbuster's. They did an episode on it with the Blue Angels.

  • @nexus1g

    Ah, because Mythbusters is the authority.  Yes, them and Wikipedia. Got it.

  • @hopmedic Mythbusters flew an F/A-18 over glass. That's a pretty solid proof of concept.

  • @hopmedic watch?v=Igy_MYJpVcQ&feature=re­lated Look at all those ruptured eardums! LOL

    Idiot...

  • @hopmedic A vapor cone due to the Prandtl-Glauert singularity is dependent on transonic flight. Of course atmospheric conditions have to be right for it to occur, but it is caused by the compression of the shock wave to near infinite pressure and the subsequent quick release of that pressure. There are two types of vapor that appear from an aircraft. One is caused by a vortex and the other is caused by the Prandtl-Glauert singularity. This is clearly the Prandtl-Glauert singularity. Look it up.

  • @nexus1g and oddly enough, you linked to a video of a jet breaking the sound barrier, which shows no vapor cone, thus proving my point. Thank you.

  • @hopmedic Also note that in the above video, the sky is filled with clouds. Relative humidity is obviously high, which means that it would take a lower speed (lower pressure change above the wings) to cause the vapor cloud to appear.

  • @hopmedic What is wrong with you? I mean, seriously... The vapor cone is blatantly an effect of the Prandtl-Glauert singularity being achieved by an F/A-18 at transonic speeds. The other vapors you're talking about wouldn't even look like that. You are either a troll or one of the most idiotic people in the world.

  • @nexus1g

    Quoted from this page:

    wilk4.com/misc/soundbreak.htm

    Note that Mark says: "Finally, it should be clear that Prandtl-Glauert condensation has nothing to do with "breaking the sound barrier"

    The name-calling obviously makes you sound more intelligent, albeit wrong.

  • @hopmedic No one said it had anything to do with BREAKING the sound barrier. This is transonic, but still less than Mach 1.

  • @hopmedic To clarify, transonic flight occurs between Mach .8 and Mach 1.2.

  • @hopmedic But it is proof that it was going a lot faster than 400 MPH. 768 MPH * Mach .8 = 614.4 MPH, and this is in fact close to the speed of sound. During transonic flight, some of the air moving around the aircraft is going faster than sound. This is what causes the compression of near infinite pressure of shock waves.

  • @nexus1g I have seen this phenomenon occur near 300 mph. There is nothing in this video that proves this plane is going over 400, let alone Mach 0.8. The heading of the video says it is "crossing" the sound barrier, which is simply not true.

  • @hopmedic You have not seen THIS phenomenon occur near 300 MPH. You may have seen something similar, but not this phenomenon.

  • @nexus1g Since you have not been with me ever, you have no idea what I have seen. Yes, I have seen THIS phenomenon at near 300 knots. You are wrong. I have enough expertise to know the different types of vapor formations that can occur around an aircraft, given high enough relative humidity and great enough pressure differentials around the craft.

  • @hopmedic I don't need to be with you to know you're bullshitting if you say you saw gravity reverse itself. Also, look up "plea to authority." And, yes, you state it yourself, "...and great enough pressure differentials around the aircraft." The only time you get pressure differentials great enough for the Prandtl-Glauert singularity to be capable of forming a vapor cone like that is during transonic speeds.

  • @hopmedic You may have seen something like this at 300 MPH: watch?v=n34RwIUlnAo

    But that's not due to the Prandtl-Glauert singularity and looks completely different.

  • @nexus1g By the way, I have seen this as well - hundreds, if not thousands of times.

  • @hopmedic Finally, phrases like, "crossing the sound barrier," refer to transonic flight.

  • @hopmedic Furthermore, taking quotes out of context is just intellectually dishonest.

  • @nexus1g Nothing was taken out of context.

  • @hopmedic Then you didn't understand the quote. All the quote says is that the aircraft doesn't have to break the sound barrier for it to occur (which I never argued as I state this is a transonic flight). It did not state that the vapor cone due to the Prandtl-Glauert singularity could occur at <Mach .8 speeds.

  • @nexus1g I guess you win. Because you are correct? No. Because I am done arguing with ignorance.

  • @hopmedic Sorry, search "appeal to authority," not "plea."
