Simulation of the sonic boom, the natural phenomenon experienced by a military jet aircraft when it exceeds the speed of sound. A sonic boom is a sound associated with shock waves created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding similar to an explosion or a thunderclap to the human ear. / You can see the animation movie of this image from my iStock video portfolio.
