then you'll like those links about sonic booms.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/jet.mpeg - video of f14 streaking in front of a boat, breaking the sound barrier.

http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/d...ckwaves-car.jpg - breaking the sound barrier, on wheels.

http://www.inflightzone.com/boom2.jpg - another plane breaking the sound barrier.

http://www.eng.vt.edu/fluids/msc/gallery/shocks/boom.mpeg only way I found to "hear" a sonic boom, althought the mic seems to dislike the high volume

http://www.inflightzone.com/speed.jpg When I was saearching, I found this pic, very funny, not about sonic boombs though.

A little something about the Concorde supersonic airliner

Breaking the sound barrier isn't cheap, which is why airliners abstain. As you may know from daily experience, it takes far more energy to push your

fist through cheese than to slice it with a knife. Seats on the Concorde are pricey because it takes a lot of jet fuel to plow cheese all the way to Paris.

So why bother going supersonic? There's a brief silence from Robinson's end of the phone, as though he's admiring the naivet├® of the question.

"You go faster," he says.
