  • There is no Prandtl-Glauert singularity in this video. Shame, 1 star for deceitful title.

  • This jet did not break the sound barrier at the video recording time.

  • W T F

    and... the Prandtl-Glauert effect? u_u

  • did see it?

  • I didn't see it!

  • me neither

  • WTF :d:d:d HOW COOL IS THAT

  • I saw no evidence of any Prandtl-Glauert "effect" around any part of the aircraft. It does appear that this aircraft is travelling at, or exceeding the speed of sound, hence the loud, sudden "blast wall" sound that hits after the plane passes. The Prandtl-Glauert effect has absolutely nothing to do with breaking the sound barrier.

  • Bull. When breaking the sound barrier the 2 pressures that build behind the jet collide and will sometimes trap the water in the atmoshere. Also called the PrandtlGlauert effect. So yes it does have to do with the sound breaking. after the jet go's faster these 2 pressures collide producing a very loud booming effect. try slapping through the water once. same effect but by air. to selby06

  • @selby06 That's wrong. NEXT!!!!

  • wow, how loud is the boom by the way? do u have to put your hands to your ears tight or wat?

  • Sonic booms can reach up to 200+ decibels which can cause permanent ear damage.

  • i used to live on a military base where they would be training pilots. every now and then a sonic boom would shake our house and some of them worried us about how they shook the windows.

  • 100mph is easily enough for flight, depends on the size of the aircraft

  • This was a cool sond barrier attemp but I've got a TRUE SONIC BOOM from the shuttle coming into Cape Canaveral. Check my video out.

  • you are just an agry little person napolean

  • its still cool

  • Ok... he's on the "cusp" of the sound barrier. He's not breaking it, but he's close. The giveaway is the slight sound of compressor whine right before he flies by. This display is clearly on a US aircraft carrier, and it is perfectly legal to conduct supersonic flight in international water - (as well as in limited military airspace in the US - think Nevada)... this flyby unfortunatley fell just short of the sound barrier.

  • God i'd love to fly at the speed of sound... must be awesome !

  • lol, keep watching al-jazeera, it makes you samrter.

  • I'm so suprised the pilot can pulll up so quickly... that's gotta be pulling (does calculations) LOTS of Gs!!!

  • That sound is very characteristic of a sonic boom and there's no reason to suggest otherwise.

  • thats not breaking the sound barrier, ive witneseed the sound barrier being broken in person....that isnt close to sonice boom.

  • No way hes breaking the sound barrier. and steve, that plane cant even take off at 100 MPH. the wings are folded back. defantely going fast. id say about 600-680 MPH. theres no sign of supersonic flight here.

  • GRMAN is right. it is illegal. I heard it is only allowed in world war.

  • lol that isn't even a sonic boom haha

  • It appears that they are on an Aircraft carrier and it looks like those are crew members on the deck as spectators, so I doubt very highly this is an airshow.

  • mmm.im not to sure.

  • the plane is subsonic...this is clearly an airshow, and it is illegal for the planes to break the sound barrer becuae it is fuckin loud...THIS PLANE IS SUBSONIC

  • they are not allowed to do it over land

  • also the aeroplane, moving through the air, generates sound. When the speed of the object reaches or exceeds the speed of sound, the object catches up with its own noise and at higher speeds, it forces the sound ahead of itself faster than the noise would ordinarily travel, so in theory u would hear the plane before it passes u showing this plane isnt acctually traveling at speeds exceding supersonic speed.

  • no but i've seen many supersonic flybys and you cannot hear the plane before the boom.

    there is a low hiss before the plane passes but that is only for a split second

    the air is forced like this - is plane < is sound  <-

    this means if you do hear the sound before the plane passes it will be soo quiet it will sound like wind or a hiss

  • sonic boom

    n.

    An explosive sound caused by the shock wave preceding an aircraft traveling at or above the speed of sound.

  • theres always some sort of reaction when a plane travels at supersonic speeds, and yer i know u get condensation from the wings when flying at normal speeds,There will always be a sonic wave following the plane, as the plane goes through that barrier the wave is visable to the naked eye but only for a split second, the word sonic boom kind of describes this.

  • jesus its not hard no he doesnt break the sound barrier theres no cloud where the pressure changes it just him going fast

  • dont no afterburner make noise like that dumbass! he was right at the sound barrier, and even dat close,it'll still make alotta noise. 100mph!?!? that plane stalls at 120mph dumbass and thats wit his wings spread....they swept back.....now who knows bout flight?! not you!

  • yes but the sonic boom would still be a low clap boom sound.

    when the tornado gr-1 (swept wing fighter) goes supersonic it makes the same sound of all the other sonic booms i've heard so this should not sound any different

  • The tomcat sonic boom is very distinct. The swept wings cause the pressure front from the wings to blend with the tail pressure front, which kind of blends the sonic boom into one sound rather than the normal boom-boom sound..

  • no i actually think the plane is going super sonic but only just.

    because i was watching a program last nite and it showed that a sonic boom was actually 2 very low pitched booms.

    but is still a fabulous video

  • Man, I love the F-14, my favorite fighter. That is cool as hell. I wonder if he broke some windows. Ha.

  • Don't think he broke the barrier, just turned the afterburner on perhaps. He's not going that fast.

  • lol

    shows u no jack shit about planes

  • If he hit the After Burners you wouls have seen it as he flew off

  • yeah im sure he was only going 100 mph or so. are you stupid, did you have your sound on? Can you use your brain. Do you know anything about flight, science and the ability of that aircraft to break the sound barrier? wow

    ~©StevieT~

  • Damn! Did he just break the sound barrier that close?

  • god i love that sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!booooo­mmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!

  • waooo!!!!
