Sonic Boom 1

[JoeLiErTz42]

Lag!

[OiShiRaZ]

I walk faster than this

[SonicGold34]

Needs more Rainbow Dash.

[xVegax1]

SONIC BOOOM!

[elcanteraun]

straordinario 

[MrTarantulalover]

That's a tomcat not a hornet

[RAAF307]

that was a f 14 not a f 18

[whitbyjet65]

That noise was the rubber band snapping.

[cap10moman]

Sonic Boom at an airshow!!! Only in the '90's!!! (damn I wish they'd do that today...)

[WeslieJJ94]

Huh? mom I dont see the plane !?

mom: It has already passed.

[GrounderTheRobot]

Sonic The Bird

[chewie211171]

Wow !!! Beats 'Top Gun' any day.

[h3llboy92]

the bird was faster :-O

[matt10411]

F-14's are beautiful planes aren't they.

[kdawg7070]

@matt10411 for sure man, i love the f-14

[MrGunluver]

the bird was so random

[DearBiNK]

Have you seen this? on the case was written - the woman behind the wheel

[xxxblasted77]

sonic pressure!

[Fireball9095]

cool

[SilabSoftClient2]

there eardrums would have been popped like baloons

[theberengersniper]

You managed to make two spelling mistakes in a 7 word sentence, genius!

[eeagglee]

nice...

[DirectConnection1]

he just pwned sound

[car000333]

shouldnt there be like a cone of air around the aircraft?

[ByeongJun]

sonic boom is just a blast of sound. what you are thinking of is called Prandtl-Glauert Singularity

[xHeCtiCR]

@ByeongJun what is prandt glauert singularity?

[Scari45]

that doesn't always happen.

[mmbbz]

a vapor cone or moisture cloud- prandtl gluaert singularity occurs due to a drop in air pressure surrounding the jet, it occurs at all speeds, a sonic boom is a completely different occurence, vapor cones have nothing to do with sonic booms

[deusradix]

its only visible when there is high moisture in the air.

[jjmore12]

no thats only wen they are starting to break the sound barrier, but this guy was already supersonic

[ironbird01]

The Best I've felt are the Space Shuttle landing at Edwards =D Fantastic!

[marksdaspaniard]

omg theres a rod in the middle of the video

[MinkMaster8808]

Dude that's a bird. I hope you know that. -_-

[mmbbz]

it was supersonic.. with all aircraft there are 2 booms, BUT due to the design and smaller size of a jet fighter the 2 booms happen so fast that the human ear recognises them as 1 bang, but the space shuttle and concord for example are larger so the twin booms happen a fraction of a second apart which is why you clearly hear 2 booms... notice how you dont hear this jet till it passes the camera, thats because sound is travelling either with or behind it...

[fourwindsoh]

There was a loud explosion heard south of Atlanta once when I worked downtown. My boss' son said he heard it. It was the space shuttle coming in for a landing in Florida. It was flying east, south of Atlanta, made a right turn then landed.

[Bravefalcon75]

@fourwindsoh That happened to me once as well. Back in the 80s I lived out in Conyers, which is about 30 miles ESE of Atlanta. I don't remember exactly what year it was but it must have been 84-86. My friends and I were playing outside and heard a loud boom that made the ground shake. Later that day my dad told me that the space shuttle had landed that afternoon and said that must have been what it was.

[mgrQkiZ]

and where is the sonic boom?? :P

[mauerrose]

nice vid!

the sonic boom does not appear when passing the sound barrier, but all the time when an object is travelling at supersonic speed!

the 2 crack noises sometimes appear when older planes travel faster than 334m/s, the Concorde for instance.

[SanRafaelSwell]

not supersonic. Sonic booms are actually two large "crack" noises, sort of like lightening. One from the nose passing the sound barrier and one from the tail.

[speeddemon1092]

it was a sonic boom, and you only get the double crack at EXTREMELY high speeds, I.e. hypersonic velocities above mach 8.

[doorhandleman]

Schubert!

[GianniGivarche]

even if we could travel at the speed of light, it would still take us 4 years to reach the nearest star. And there are over 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone, with over 400,billion galaxies. We will never know who is out there.

[grosserne]

we'll be like futurama and slow down the speed of light

[do11ar1122]

If you look at a graph of Kinetic energy vrs (c/v)^2. Kinetic energy being K=mc^2(1/(√(1-(v/c)ˆ2))-1).

As the speed approaches c(speed of light), the kinetic energy approaches a asymptote. The required work is equal to the change in K of the objects kinetic energy. To increase the objects speed to c would require and infinite amount of energy as approaching the asymptote, thus making it impossible.

Sorry bro - studying it at the moment - couldn't help myself

[sadekgheidan]

Yes- And this is why I am convinced we need to find a way around this law of physic.

All we need to do is WARP the space around us (Making us able to go trillions of times faster than light).

We could even try using singularities.

IT--

[time4high]

wha da fuck r u sain'??? daaammn this nerds don't speak english anymore :|

[do11ar1122]

haha! Cheers bro - wish my grades told the same story

[Shumeshi]

No, not 4 years. The Sun is only what, 8 light seconds away? Or is that 8 minutes, I don't remember, but not 4 years :)

P.S. yes this is a smart-ass comment.

[camwizardoz]

8 minutes haha

[NinetiesYouth]

Wow

[wantstobe]

00:22 - 00:24 is the sound u hear when im in the bathroom after a few burritos! :p

[asadjan93]

lol !!

[pilotolalo]

amazing

[Rekilo]

Ehhh, why isn't there a cone? There's usually vapor trailing from the plane when a sonic boom takes place. Why isn't it here?

[1CoyoteSpirit]

The visible shock wave vapor depends on the amount of moisture in the air. Noticing in this video that the flyby was above the ocean, I expected to see a shock wave myself.

[xsilviadrifterx]

theres a cone when the plane is right about to break the sound barrior but when hes going faster than sound it doesnt do it

[KingDrake12]

lol @ ego...

[emtguy2202]

Air Force Thunderbirds do a trick like this where one plane is flying in front of the crowd at stall speed distracting the crowd and one will come in at mach or close to and just scare the hell out of everybody. Awesome move

[asiangamr]

Ahahha hell yea i know that trick,first time i saw the thunderbirds they scared the hell out of me when that trick came.

[cripplehawk]

"Tower this is Ghostrider requesting fly by"

[placidesulfurik]

Ok, now just for you to understand: this was NO sonic boom. The real one was earlier, because he's already faster than sound in this video, and we'd have seen a huge cloud of water vapor around the jet while breaking the sound barrier. What this was, was just a jet flying over the speed of sound. This means soundwaves stay behind him, and we can't hear anything before he passed in front of us. What we hear is the soundwaves following the jet, reaching our ears.

[poyter789]

is that birds flying around?

[counter546]

yes it is

[joz119]

is sonic boom when its going faster than sound?

[Coupesm]

yea

[WInT0nBBoy209]

i thought sonic boom was right when it broke the sound barrier...not sayin you wrong just thought that...

[Coupesm]

yea ur right i think he was on about is there a sonic boom when its going faster than sound or light. so i was saying yea to it was sound not light.

[Arid2006]

Indeed, sonic booms occur when the sound barrier is broken. :P

[eagleflame2000]

If he went faster than the speed of light...in a tomcat... not only would they bring it out of retirement they would go ahead and make the VF-1 and others from macross and robotech unless thats why they retired it so they could travel to distant worlds with it in secrecy?!?!? (disregard me i've been up for close to 72 hrs with 1 hr of sleep)

[allexBABA]

Ahh! I saw this in person too! just last month. Were you on a Tiger Cruise?

[megamanfzxw]

nice!

[pgriffin22]

this was done on my birthday lol!

[egyptiscool]

Sound is probably saying "hold the fuck up! i need to catch up!

[butmunch69]

lol

[andreluxury]

i really dont think that was the sonic boom. that is just teh sound trailing behind the plane.

[MIA7Xthies]

don't we have a Philosopher here.... what the hell do you think a sonic boom is genius

[andreluxury]

u prolly didn;t understand cuz of the typo. sorry. I meant i dont think that sound you hear in the vid in the sonic boom. like all planes have a sound that trails behind them.

[MIA7Xthies]

ah yes aha

[favioalex]

well that is the phenomena of breaking the sound barrier. the sound or the ^^sonic boom^^ just come after the plane Fly by

[TheBlueAngels]

thats amazing how you cant hear him coming until he past you!!

[suprchrgr]

Thats breaking the sound barrier......object getting there before the sound does.

[fidocudeiro]

muy bueno

[diegomdallas]

That was amazing!!!

[tututuk]

at 0:22 we can see the plane pass by but the sound is not comming yet.. it juste so cool:D:D:D

[VladDraculll]

sorry...that's not supersonic

[lapinskiz]

are you retarded?

[CipherPixel]

I think he is

[ANISDESIGN]

Awesome.

[favioalex]

f14=awesome

[ElChevelle]

Rodan bitches!

[mikeT1100]

to lucas 300 that would be awesome

[AirRifle1980]

at 0:22 that bird was there when the plane passes :D

[AirRifle1980]

and a half second :D

[chaosdude14]

yes the bird was on steriods and outran the plane lolz

JK ;)

[Bike4life5]

no Bird was just there and the jet passed it

[america151]

U.S.A

[kibaboy3]

who gave you a thumbs down? i gave u a thumbs up

[placidesulfurik]

i gave a thumbs down. Switzerland, France, Russia, Chine, Corea, Brazil, Portugal, Australia, Austria, Japan, Irak... ok i'll stop hear, because there are still dozens of them... what i mean is that we brake sound barrier in all those countries, you american show-off ...

[Armyman432]

yea but we can spell china, korea and iraq correctly

[placidesulfurik]

i'm from switzerland. Now please, would you spell "Switzerland, France, Russia, Brazil, Portugal, Australia and Japan" in french for me...

as i said: you american show-off

[nobodieshero07]

lol nice

[Armyman432]

looks like your showing off too.

[ngffd]

Hahaha ! ;)

[t5239857289578947594]

What's that orb thing at 21:.Seem to be matching the planes' speed.Look closley!

[xzzap]

could be a bird sucked along behind the plane.

[ryujisan]

no the bird tried to beat the plane

[favioalex]

the bird was chuck norris

[jmguzman10]

lololol

[MattStevoMatt]

thats a good one haha

[70HeavyChevy]

thanks for the laugh, nice comment.

[lucus300]

mmm i should post the best video i have ever seen of a sonic boom, pilot broke the barrier over land knocked people of their feet, smashed the towers windows and cracked all the walls was amazing. i believe the RAF were after the video to court marshal the pilot

[erichathy222]

please post that, it would be the most amazing sonic boom ever seen on video, and ive seen alot!!

[orlandostudios]

if it was giong faster it could of broken a piece of glass like a window

[wyo7011]

Hell yeah!!

[saybya]

At that altitude, the speed of sound is 720 mph, not 620. That's about 620 knots. It also depends on the temperature.

[redeyesthe20th]

it's 620-ish mph

[bleedthedream2006]

330 m/s

[tyton1234]

750 or 800

[billy2757]

the speed of sound is somewhere between 600 and 700 knots right. if im wrong someone please tell me what it really is

[batterbee2000]

the speed of sound is somwhere between 761-763 mph.

[Gphs1]

oh ok thank you

[vampov]

it depends on the altitude your at. The speed of sound changes according to altitude.

[NightowlDarksky]

Nice. I'm happy I saw this video because I wouldn't want to be there with that noise.

[billy2757]

are you kidding, i would love to be there with that noise

[mcnic05]

Pussy.

[korpz]

That is truly amazing we have come along way since ww2 and we should all be proud of that.

[Ramerez491]

unfortunatley your not meant to do those sort of speed at that altitude cause of air pressure and if you search youle find a similar video to this of a f 14 breaking up from turning while doing this

[Jimothyp]

air resistance is not a factor at supersonic speeds. G forces are the real danger

[WayneS1324]

Air resistance is a factor at any speed.

[Aceman196]

G force only applies to acceleration or deceleration. so if you stay at about 900 mph you will only feel 1 g but if you accelerate or decelerate more g or less.

[chipper1316h]

you can hear a transmission early in the video referring to 1.1 (one point one) which I suppose is saying the jet is going Mach 1.1  Nice!!

[sthealth07]

awesome! the tomcat is amazing

[takujei]

wooooooo!! so damn hot!! that's some freaking power!!

[dbairbus2]

Concord crashed once out of many years of service.

[brent07]

thanks for the service F-14,byebye

[xStoochx]

fuckin hell!

[PremaritalSexXM]

It must've scared the shit out of that bird that was flying about.

[ftrudge]

fuckin sht!

[laserfloyd]

That's kinda what a boom is. All of the 'sound' is compressed into a cone shaped shockwave. A person hears the BOOM on the ground but it travels along with the aircraft. So you're right that it is a constant rumble or pressure wave but you definitely hear a boom! :)

[laserfloyd]

The Concord only crashed once i thought.. anyhow yeah the shuttle gives two sonic booms, one for the wings and one for the extra large vertical stabilizer. There are a few on youtube, awesome sounding!

[Scott467]

Sweet...

[pgplayer]

too bad it's retired... :( ho hum

[cant7think7clearly]

That was completely awesome! It was surreal with no sound until "fwwooaarrr!!!" Damn those yanks and their cool toys!

[Nel1y]

I'd love to fly that fast...

[dk0194]

I agree with sw1tched, I thought if you were that close to a sonic boom you would go deaf, thats why the concorde could only go that fast over the ocean and it was so noisy which is one of the reasons why they don't fly it anymore (though that was twice the speed of sound).

[RenjiOcean]

hey sw1tched, sorry but a sonic boom is very real, if the source (a plane in this case) is traveling at the speed of sound (as it goes from subsonic to supersonic) the wavelets produced by the plane build up to produce a sound wave with a very large amplitude, what we call a sonic boom.

[ironbird01]

Go see a Space Shuttle landing you'll get 3 one after another BOOMS! Feel it in your chest loud.

[jparr2112]

Now if you guys want an extremely good 'double boom' (the original plus the echo from the hills), do a search on 'Thrust SSC', the current worlds fastest car. Driven by the British RAF pilot Andy Green, he takes it to a record 733mph.

[DimSum9685]

All I can say is to add on to sw1tched's post.. The reason why we call it a sonic boom is because the rumbling is soo close it gives the sound of a boom. I felt that rumbling and heard it when I was at an airshow with the Blue Angels going Trans-Sonic.. Not quite supersonic but still you cant hear it until its literally on top of you. The plane was literally going AT the speed of sound not beyond it which I see most videos are except for few like this one. VERY COOL THO!

[bassplaya1549]

now THATS a sonic boom...holy shit

[sw1tched]

besides....if people were standing that close, they would be blasted with dizzyness closed to being knocked out. Hence windows breaking, people going def, and illegal for a miltary pilot to do...unless given permission

[SoccerBoy77]

actually...you wouldn't go deaf unless you were exposed to it for prolonged periods of time. and it wasn't illegal cause if u notice, the people are offshore and an aircraft carrier, and hey...its the military and they can go supersonic anywhere, though they do need permission for over land.

[sw1tched]

Well, my uncle is friends with a f-16 pilot of over 22 years. Sonic Booms don't happen according to him. The BOOM is a myth, you get a constant sound of rumbling that is so overbearing it appears to be a boom.(since it flys by so fast), but if you could follow the jet for awhile it will continue to rumble. it's the rift in air pressure and sound waves being dragged and trying to catch up with such force it "rumbles" not booms

[jugernaught]

it creates a series of pressure waves in front of it and behind it, similar to the bow and stern waves created by a boat. These waves travel at the speed of sound, and as the speed of the aircraft increases the waves are forced together or 'compressed' because they cannot "get out of the way" of each other, eventually merging into a single shock wave at the speed of sound. This critical speed is known as Mach 1 and is approximately 1,225 kilometers per hour (761 mph)

[gabrielcrimson]

your uncle is a fucking idiot :)

[monkeysout]

what a load of rubbish.

[trick521]

These is one more sonic boom...but I am so sick of people saying that the sonic boom is the fricken vapor.

[rea1001]

Yes, there are a few on this network..

[rea1001]

The one from ruac123 is at supersonic as well...

[MM1979]

awesome

[abysalhydra]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[Bleek87]

This is the first genuine sonic boom clip on youtube, FINALLY!

[Onurethesis]

does any1 know what will happen if that plane went twice the speed?

Im guessing the sound will be left further behind, so there will be a major delay between seeing the plane then hearing the sound. Will the boom be even louder?

[A550RGY]

Yup, finally a genuine supersonic flight with a sonic boom. Just imagine how fast that plane would look at double speed Mach 2!

[Gryphon494]

Now that was a sonic boom, fucking hell what a fucking bang, Never heard that before lol

[unreal171]

fucking finally a video where the friggin plane DOES do a sonic boom.

[persianpimp730]

this is like the only vid where some1 broke it.
