An F-14 makes an supersonic pass

[carlostheflame]

Just because the evidence is there... Little less than half a sec to clear the cruiser (watch the water) so that leaves: 567ft / 5280(ft/m) * 3600(s/hr) / .5s = 773 mph

Speed of sound at sea level on a cool day = 761 mph. I was conservative and used half a sec. so he is doing a bit over the 773 mph. Our servicemen and women are the best and deserve the truth! ;}

[navyseal890]

No. Not supersonic. Close but no cigar

[robduncan2000]

Thats just a high pressure air wave compressed and tailing behind the aircraft. These idiots havent a clue what theyre talking about. Too funny. And btw, it isnt even legal to fly super-sonic anywhere near people. These guys are idiots. Lmao.

[robduncan2000]

@xilix Youre a moron dude. Seriously. It is HUNDREDS of miles an hour below the sound barrier you brainless twit. But geeeeee, only having been in the AF for 10 years I guess I wouldnt know.... Idiot.

[xilix]

@robduncan2000 If you'd like to intelligently explain to all of us exactly what you see that denotes it is subsonic, please, we're ALL waiting with baited breath. Something more than "geeeeeeee.. I've only been in the AF for 10 years". Not really an argument is it?

How should I put this.... Here - in your language: "but geeeee, the plane is only traveling ahead of the sound wave, but what do physics know?" And 8yr old could grasp this concept. I would think a 10yr AF Vet would too.

[McmanawtROBLOX]

I love how it sounds like a Monkey craping out another monkey.

[yazied00100]

and how much did that cost tax payer in jet fuel??

[robduncan2000]

Thats the dumbest claim Ive seen in my life. Period. Its going nowhere near the sound barrier. How stupid can ya get?

[Antonaustirol2]

@robduncan2000

? its clearly supersonic!

[xilix]

@robduncan2000 What the fuck are you talking about? How stupid can YOU get? It is genuinely breaking the sound barrier. You must be one of those idiots who think a conical moisture cloud around the fuselage is directly correlated to breaking the sound barrier. Robduncan2000 - meet abacazam!! You two will get along beautifully!

[robduncan2000]

Why are these fools all saying these jets just flying at a couple hundred of miles an hour are breaking the sound barrier? I dont get it.

[nexus1g]

@robduncan2000 You answered yourself: They're fools.

[operationcwaI789789]

"an supersonic pass"...?

so, it's now a, e, i, o, u, sometimes h, and sometimes s?

[nexus1g]

@operationcwaI789789 Sometimes U too. :)

[nitinsinghkushwah]

gajjo the rajjo

[dreadghoul3]

i see something actually dripping from the tail area. Moisture from the air accumilating?

[Scarassasin]

the f-14 is a plane also called a tom cat and can be used as a fighter or bomber mainly fighter.

[xStreetSurferxV2]

Anyone else notice it dropping flares? thats badass!

[kimsean426]

@xStreetSurferxV2 saw that too, he was just adding to the fun!

[samfromportadown]

You Fail Physics Forever.

It's "going off" continually but you can't hear it until the plane gets to you because it's faster than the sound.

[almcken]

this happened near my house once. shook everything

[weipeiwu2000]

The S in supersonic is a consonant.

[kendall3451]

i dont understand i look at other videos of fast fly bys but they seem as though they are going faster than this but i hear no boom i mean this one just looks like it was cruisen and the others seem like if u stood there it would pick u up and take u with it

[TD625G]

@kendall3451 - you can never truly trust a camera to record images, and then be played back at the same speed they occur. Differences in cameras could be the cause, as well as how fast the person moves the camera, or how close they really are to the plane

[ladiestreat27]

this video is a good example of how the sound waves get compressed. just moments before the plane passes the croud, underneath it, the water is bending just like the waves, and you can also see that its behind it.

[KennebecCntySD]

wow, had to see it again to tell but you can see the sound barrier being broken on the water. @ 0:06 as it flies between the Cruiser and carrier

[tronulu]

an supersonic?

[Birch00112]

naww you will always here the planes sonic boom once it passes you, its always happening you can only hear it once the plane passes you because the planes going faster than the sound that it is making

[abacazam]

how do they always make it go off when there infront of the croud??

they must just twist the throttle a bit more or sumthin

and once they break the barrier can the plane go any faster?

[Nighthawkwill7]

They can go faster than the speed of sound at sea level, but only up to a certain point. The higher speeds are achieved at higher altitude due to lower air density and less stress on the airframe. The World Absolute Low Altitude Speed Record is 988.26 mph or Mach 1.3 in an F-104 Starfighter.

[AeroSpaceBoy130]

this was probably during one of those carrier air shows. Tiger Cruise is what they call them I think

[BlankBrandon]

@AeroSpaceBoy130 yes they can go 80 percent faster in a fa 18

[Wucares]

@AeroSpaceBoy130 WRONG .. just call it AWESOME SHIT :D its badass when they go sonic boom

[senoctar]

They don't. Since the plane is traveling faster than the speed of sound you will only hear it when it passes in front of you. The boom that you hear are a sequence of compresses sound waves, not the sonic boom.

[3IDLukeK]

@abacazam yeah, just wait till there close and give it more juice, and yes you can go faster

[simmerer]

what theyre actually doing is already flying faster than the speed of sound. When an airplane is cruising faster than the speed of sound, an air compression is created and trails behind the airplane (this is the "sonic boom").

breaking the sound barrier creates no unique noise.

an airplane flying greater than the speed of sound has a sonic boom trailing it and everyone in its path gets the shit scared out of them :)

[mikewoelke]

@abacazam I think it depends on where u are, the jet is constantly breaking the sound barrier, its just until the jet gets to you that you hear the shockwave from the afterburners

[pcpilot96]

@abacazam practice it their work

[alexgd0193]

@abacazam

Well the sound is following the jet, since the plane is going faster than the sound can travel. So in these instances the plane will pass the observer before they hear the boom. Its pretty amazing because you don't hear a thing up to the pass, thats an easy way to tell the difference between a supersonic pass and a normal pass.

[CDMVette]

@abacazam When a plane is flying supersonic, it's dragging a cone-shaped shock wave with it. The sonic boom is what you hear as the shock wave passes over you.

[jayjones0815]

@abacazam they pull the throttle back

[sstroh08]

@abacazam nothing "goes off" its just that the aircraft is moving faster then the speed of sound, the sound compresses behind it and instead of coming "gently" [still earsplittingly loud] as in subsonic flight it all comes in one big bleeding ear shot, if you watch the ocean as it passes you can see the sound shockwave hitting the water directly behind the f-14, oh and yes the f14 can get to around 1300 knots or so about 1600 mph, here it was probably moving around 800 mph

[greatplanesman]

@abacazam No, the sound is always there, but the aircraft is physically travelling faster than the sound can travel. You know how you can shout out in a mountain range, then you can hear the echo for several seconds after? That's the sound travelling. Faster than the speed of sound is easily accomplished by a jet with enough power.

[EliteGamerzTV]

@abacazam if its going supersonic its always breaking the sound barrier you just dont hear it until it passes you

[giovanniboydbonanno]

@abacazam the pilot has superb control over his plane its easy for him to do, and yes they can go even faster hence the term mach 1 mach 2 maxch 3 mach 4 one mach = one times the speed of sound two mach = two times the sound and so on

[sstroh08]

@abacazam it doesnt "go off", because the f14 is moving faster then the speed of sound the crazy amount of sound a f14 makes is all gathered at one point right behind the aircraft itself, so as it passes you get all that sound in your face all at one time in a split second BOOM!, you could be on the front of the carrier or nearly a quarter mile away on the back of the carrier it would feel the same, if you watch the video closely you can actually see the shockwave as it reflects off the water

[GatremagWenYm]

@abacazam Really? did you not take basic physics in eighth grade?

[EFCTZSniping]

@abacazam its super late, but yes it goes faster, sound barrier is 700 miles per hour, while F15's for example I believe can go up to near MACH 2 (1200 MPH)

[sananapee]

@abacazam you are so dumb, I'm not even try to troll or whatever. That's just a really dumb thought

[IamArob0t]

@abacazam Damn I'm guessing you've never studied physics in your life.
