Hi, Eurofighters flew overhead in our district on Wednesday evening. There were quite a few of them. According to the internet, they were conducting some kind of interception exercise or maneuver. What does that mean specifically, or what should I expect from an interception exercise/maneuver?
Task: A jet fighter flies at an altitude of 4000m at supersonic speed over an observer who is hit by the sonic boom 8.5s after the aircraft has flown directly over him. Calculate the speed of the jet fighter, including the speed in Mach. (Speed of sound c = 340 m/s). Solution: Based on the…
My teacher couldn't explain this question to me. It's a stupid question, but maybe the problem can be solved. So, if sound travels at 1234 km/h in the air and, for example, a car is traveling a little faster, what would happen? Let's say I'm standing on the highway and a car is coming from…
In the 1980s, this sometimes happened; the pressure wave would shake the windows, giving you a terrible fright. But I haven't experienced it in the last 30 years.
Good day Suppose there was a train traveling at supersonic speed and this train sounded its horn. Would passengers in the back of the carriages hear the horn? Would people standing along the tracks hear the horn as the train passed?
Hello, I'm interested in what this type of cloud formation on the wings is called and what it is. I think it also happens when a jet turns sharply at very high speeds. It also forms on the back of the aircraft. At least, I once saw a strip of clouds on each side. Kind…
