  • 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.

  • @selby06 That's wrong. NEXT!!!!

  • 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

  • W T F

    and... the Prandtl-Glauert effect? u_u

  • I didn't see it!

  • did see it?

  • 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.

  • 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.
