When the object breaks the sound barrier, this pressure wave cascades outward in a cone shape, forming a shock wave. The abrupt pressure change creates the characteristic sonic boom heard on the ...

Collier Aerospace supplied HyperX computer-aided engineering software to Swift Engineering for the structural sizing, ...

BOOM! What was the earth-shaking, jolt-you-awake, set-off-the-car-alarm sound? Oh right, a rocket launch. But why are some ...

This cone-shaped shock wave wouldn't be a problem ... only one—to significantly ameliorate the sonic boom. In 1971, building on work done in the 1960s by NASA's Ed McLean and Harry Carlson ...
